Carl Grundstrom

Last Season

Nine goals and four assists in 47 games — 13 points, plus-seven, at 11:51 a night with 19 penalty minutes.

The Finesse Game

Thin. Eighty-nine unblocked attempts, nine goals, median 28 feet with 38 per cent from inside twenty.

Eighty-nine points in 339 career games — fifty-two goals and thirty-seven assists — which is a fourth-line rate with a slight scoring lean.

The Physical Game

Six foot even, 200, and thick. He forechecks hard, finishes checks, and is difficult to knock over. Nineteen penalty minutes in 47 games.

The speed is honest rather than exceptional and it is enough for the role.

The Intangibles

Forty-seven point two per cent of the expected goals, 28th percentile, and 45.7 per cent of the shot attempts, 16th, across 534 minutes.

Those are the weakest forward figures on the club, and the goals went 26-19 in his favour anyway, which is the goaltending and the structure rather than him.

Three points in his last ten. He is 28, a second-round pick, and a fourth-line winger on a team that has plenty of them. This is a depth page.
