Written about him
San Jose changed its first line on Monday, and the other three with it
San Jose practiced on October 12 with four new forward lines: Chernyshov-Celebrini-Smith, Stenberg-Misa-Sherwood, Marchment-Wennberg-Toffoli and Ostapchuk between Graf and either Dellandrea or Gaudette, with Barclay Goodrow off the ice with an illness and questionable for Tuesday's game against Boston. The defense pairs did not change. Ivar Stenberg, 19, replaced Chernyshov on the first power-play unit; San Jose is 2 for 13 on the power play and 0 for 7 over its last three games. Warsofsky said the club is not playing in the offensive zone enough to create offense. At five-on-five San Jose has scored 7 goals and allowed 13 through five games, with 34.3 percent of MoneyPuck's expected goals, 31st of 32 clubs; last season's full-year share was 47.6 percent. Boston, 4-2-0, has allowed 7 five-on-five goals in six games.
San Jose's last exhibition reused five units, but not the pair beside Orlov
San Jose repeated five units before the Florida opener, while Orlov's partner and the fourth forward line changed.
Zack Ostapchuk Got Some Of The Hardest Ice In San Jose And The Puck Stayed Out Of The Net
Zack Ostapchuk started 33.8 percent of his even-strength shifts in the offensive zone last season, third-lowest of the thirteen San Jose forwards who dressed 40 times, and San Jose allowed 2.7 goals per sixty with him on the ice at even strength, tied with Collin Graf for the lowest rate in that group. The same table has him at 1.6 goals for per sixty, tied third-lowest. The four-year contract signed in June is a bet that the second number moves, and both public line projections put him back with the wingers it did not move with.
Two Sharks Forwards Played All 82 Games, And Barclay Goodrow Was The Other One
Barclay Goodrow played all 82 games last season and finished with 12 points, 73 penalty minutes and the second-worst even-strength shot-share relative of any San Jose skater who dressed 40 times. The number that matters is the one attached to his actual job: 9.9 goals against per sixty shorthanded, the worst of the five forwards under contract who killed penalties at least a minute a night. He is the identity veteran on a team whose most fixable weakness is the unit he anchors.
