2022 Player Review: Zach Werenski had a career high in points, but it could have been better - and now it’s time to take the next step

Zach Werenski had a career high in points this year. I write that to say: I am one of his biggest fans, and he is my favorite Blue Jacket, and I had absolutely no idea. Werenski had 48 points, one more than his previous career high of 47 in his rookie season, but it felt like he had more to give. He played just 68 games due to injury, but average .691 points per game when healthy, a 57 point pace.

Werenski also shot a career-low 5.1%, an oddity in a year where offense was up across the league.
