Pat Svoboda Ties Last Year's Point Totals

[StamkosFan 72]

Pat Svoboda has tied his previous season rookie point total of 20 with eight goals and 12 assists in 19 games, although his blazing early pace has cooled off a lot; he's been shooting less the last few games, and much to the dismay of analysts and special teams coaches, he has no power play goals, which probably is preventing him from keeping up the surprising start. Svoboda has still definitely been much better and is likely to set a new personal record for points, and he's been more helpful to his team defensively when on the ice as well. He is has a plus 6 rating, has dished out 12 hits, and registered 14 shot blocks; as many shot blocks as fellow top prospect Elias Dahlberg has. Svoboda did finally take his first penalty of season, but the two penalty minutes are all he has been called for this year despite added physical play.

 

"This year has been much better, so I'll just continue to work on and play my game. I like the style I play, and I think better passing this year has really complimented my shooting. It is a gamechanger, defensemen aren't expecting me to pass or stick handle past them. Hopefully, I'll continue racking up the points, and hopefully our team can continue to surprise and sneak into the playoffs," said Pat Svoboda.
