Analyzing Boston's Best


Brad Marchand, a forward for the Bruins, has been nothing short of spectacular in his recent outings. With an impressive performance against the Chicago Blackhawks, where he scored two goals with a shooting percentage of 67 percent and maintained a plus-minus of +2, Marchand has proven why he's a player to watch. Over the last three games, his ability to find the back of the net and contribute significantly to his team's efforts is evident. His average shooting percentage stands at 47 percent across these matches, highlighting his efficiency and threat level to opponents.


Another Bruin who cannot go unnoticed is Trent Frederic. Despite not scoring in the game against Winnipeg Jets, his overall contribution in other matches, including scoring two goals with a 50 percent shooting accuracy against Philadelphia Flyers, showcases his versatility and importance to the team.

Seattle's Standouts


On the Seattle Kraken side, Oliver Bjorkstrand has been making waves with an outstanding four-point game (two goals and two assists) against New York Rangers, boasting a shooting percentage of 67 percent for that game. His performance has been critical for the Kraken, providing them with much-needed offense and playmaking abilities.


Eeli Tolvanen also deserves mention for his three-point contribution (one goal and two assists) in the same game against Rangers. His perfect shooting percentage in that match underscores his precision and capability to capitalize on opportunities presented during play.
