Carl Hagelin
Things get a little trickier here. Holtby was an easy choice. Nobody else really was though. Nobody both stood out and put up good stats. The third line however continues to play well and out of the three it was Carl Hagelin who stood out the most and put up the best stats.
Hagelin had two points this week, a goal and an assist. The assist was a primary assist. Hagelin has really heated up over the last couple of weeks. He has four goals and nine points in his last 11 games.
Hagelin’s advanced stats were pretty good this week. His shot attempts broke even, while on the ice the Caps got 31 shot attempts for and allowed 31 attempts against. That’s not great, but it’s still 50%. While on the ice the team also had 14 scoring chances for and 10 against. That’s a 58.33% which was 7th best on the team this week. His 61.54% high danger shot attempts was 5th best on the team, he was on the ice for eight attempts and five against. While 5v5 Hagelin was not on the ice for a goal against, scoring two goals at the same time.
Hagelin won’t ever really stand out individually. He only had three shots this week. He had three scoring chances to go with those three shots, both of those ranking in the middle of the team. His 3 high danger chances was tied for third on the Caps this week.
It’s not a week that was so good it will slap you in the face. But it was a solid week for Carl Hagelin and the third line. Based on how the rest of the team played Hagelin is a fine choice for our stars of the week.
