The defense has also been porous, allowing opponents to take advantage of open shots on goal. Goalie Joel Blomqvist has also been inconsistent, with a save percentage below .900 and a high goals-against average. This has resulted in a power ranking of 9 for the team, with low rankings in both offense and defense, and a mediocre record of 22-24-9 for the season.
