It's Time to Take Off Jakub Vrana's Training Wheels

It’s Time to Take Off Jakub Vrana’s Training Wheels Share this story Jakub Vrana is one of the best pure goal-scorers in hockey. Of the 605 forwards who have logged more than 100 minutes at five-on-five over the past three seasons (including this one), the only ones who have scored goals at a higher rate in those situations than Vrana’s 1.44 per 60 minutes are Auston Matthews (1.50), Dominik Kubalik (1.48 in around half as many minutes as Vrana’s 2,161), Brendan Gallagher (1.46), and David Pastrnak (1.45). That’s it (and because you’re wondering, Alex Ovechkin clocks in at 1.43). And yet, Vrana’s five-on-five ice time per game is just 12:09, seventh on the team, down a tick from last season’s 12:19 and the season prior’s 12:34.

Gr8 Expectations

Gr8 Expectations Share this story Let’s talk Ovi. Seventeen games played, four five-on-five goals. Considering that he had 27 such tallies in just 68 games (conveniently four times as many as he’s played this year) and 28 in each of the two prior campaigns, it’s fair to be both disappointed in and concerned with this downturn in production. But that’s not the half of it. The thing is, Alex Ovechkin’s goal production at fives so far is actually exceeding expectations. You read that right. Based on “expected goals” models, Ovechkin’s four five-on-five goals is around one more (or 33 percent more) than we’d think, given shot locations, types and so on. Now

The team has agreed to a contract with Japanese right-hander Shun Yamaguchi, who struggled with the Blue Jays last year in his first big-league season. Yamaguchi, 33, is likely to get a split major-league/minor-league deal, with Toronto still paying him $3.175 million this year after Yamaguchi cleared waivers this week.
