Oslo's Team Defense Keeping them in it

[Scurvy 1,548]

 A quick look inside the Oslo Storm who are currently in third place in the VHLE, sitting behind Cologne and Bratislava.  On paper the Storm don’t quite have the thoroughbreds of the above listed, but they come out hot with a mix of team defense and amazing goaltending.

 

Currently leading the team in scoring is their rookie right winger, Logan NInefingers with 4 goals 5 assists 9pts. Defenseman kodie Curran @Battlepopcornis next with 3 goals 4 assists for 7 points.  

 

Defensively they have had to be great by blocking shots and giving the goalie a chance at making saves. Defensman, Vladimir Koslov and Jean Marc Lemieux have a amazing 66 blocked shots between them in 8 games.  

 

In net, David Slezak @ShawnGladehas been rock solid despite already having faced 361 shots in 8 games.  He has 1 shutout and gives up less than 3 goals a game.  

 

Looking forward the Storm need to find a way to score to stay competitive. Despite being in 3^rdplace they have only scored 18 goals which is worst in the league.  If the storm can continue their hot defense and goalie and get hot offensively, they have a real chance at making a shot to contend.
