#Guntis Goals

[Girts 857]

Houston Bulls defenseman Guntis Gavilrovs finished as the league leader in powerplay goals with 14 and also led all defenseman in goals with an incredible 27 on the season! An unexpected monster goal scoring season by the 6'8" 250 pound physical Dman. He shocked even himself with his goal scoring as he always thought he had a scoring touch but never thought he'd even be close to leading the league in these categories! He even had two hat tricks on the season! In total he finished with 27 goals, 43 assists and 70 points in 72 games. Pretty unreal for a guy who came in as a pure shutdown defenseman. His defensive play was also elite as he finished with 187 hits, 79 blocks and a +42 rating, helping the Bulls to the 2nd best record in the league! A very impressive regular season for the big Latvian and he likely raised his draft stock a bit with such a performance. Now he faces the challenge of helping the Bulls in the playoffs as they have their sites set on the cup! Currently it's a tight series the Hounds in round 1 but we know Guntis and company can pull this one out! Their defense and goaltending is elite so they just need a bounce or two and should hopefully win this series!
