While Macklin Celebrini, William Eklund, and Mikael Granlund have contributed significantly to the scoring, the rest of the offense has struggled. Additionally, the defense has allowed an average of 3.44 goals per game, with Cody Ceci and Jake Walman performing well but the unit as a whole struggling to prevent opponents from scoring. The one bright spot has been goaltender Yaroslav Askarov, who has a .917 save percentage and a 2.39 goals-against average. The team's power ranking of 29 reflects their difficulties in both offense and defense, resulting in a record of 14-28-6 for the season.
