Continuing our Boston Bruins 2021 Player Grades series, we now look at center/left wing Sean Kuraly.
After two very good seasons for a fourth line center, Kuraly struggled a bit this season. Offensively, he regressed significantly. The previous two seasons, Kuraly was scoring at a 0.30 and 0.33 points per game pace. However, this season he averaged just 0.19 points per game. To get a better picture of how poor offensively Kuraly was, his offensive point shares (OPS) this season was -0.
