Francois Beauchemin Playing Badly
Where to start with how Beauchemin is a problem for the Avalanche? First of all, he’s playing badly. We could start small, with the fact that he’s at a -3 on the plus/minus ratio.
We could point out that he has an ugly turnover ratio — -21, meaning he’s turned the puck over 21 more times than he’s taken it away.
