Zyuzin having trouble in NA

[TheLastOlympian07 2,388]

Shawn Andrei Zyuzin is having trouble in Philadelphia through his first 12 games in a Reaper uniform. SAZ has 1 assist for 1 point in the 12 games since being drafted in the 4th round. I mean not much was expected from SAZ from a scoring standpoint but 1 assist? I'm sure he was supposed to do better than that. SAZ is also a -4 so maybe his defensive game isn't up to snuff either. With 16% of the season gone, we are hoping SAZ gets more accustomed to living in NA. SAZ has 18 PIM's to go along with 27 hits and 13 shots blocked. He is showimg some promise in those departments but hopefully he can start getting a little bit more points and fix up his plus/minus situation. Despite these early struggles, the Reapers are hovering at .500 with a 5-5-2 record which places them 4th in the Western Conference, 4 points behind 2nd and 3rd and just 3 points and 4 points ahead of 5th and 6th.

 

SAZ has been reportedly working on his scoring touch in some recent practices, meaning we may see just a teeny bit of an uptick in points. So he isn't a full liability out there after he passes half on the ice into the other teams offensive zone. Hopefully SAZ and Philly breakout in the upcoming games as they have had a bit of a tough schedule facing Halifax a few times already.
