Jansen Harkins

Last Season

Three goals and five assists in 44 games — eight points, minus-six, at 9:35 a night with 28 penalty minutes. His five-on-five work was done in Anaheim.

The Finesse Game

Fifty-nine unblocked attempts, three goals, median 25 feet with 42 per cent from inside twenty.

Forty-five points in 305 career games — eighteen goals in seven seasons — is the record of a fourth-line forward who has never scored at this level and is not going to start.

Five assists in 44 games is the rest of it.

The Physical Game

Six foot one, 197, and neither heavy nor quick. Twenty-eight penalty minutes.

He kills penalties, takes defensive-zone draws, and is reliable in the sense that nothing much happens when he is on the ice.

The Intangibles

Forty-six point seven per cent of the expected goals, 24th percentile, and 48.8 per cent of the shot attempts, 43rd, across 408 minutes in Anaheim.

Those are below-average figures in a small sample, and on this particular roster they are the worst of any forward brought in.

One point in his last ten. He is 29, a forty-seventh overall pick, and the thirteenth forward. Tampa’s fourth line is the only soft place on the depth chart and this is the page that shows it.
