Coming off an admirable 59-point performance (13G, 46A) in 2016-2017, Alexander Wennberg posted an underwhelming .53 points-per-game in 2017-2018. Coming off a career best of .74 PPG the previous season, Columbus Blue Jackets fans and brass alike want to know what happened to #10?
The young centerman scored only 35 points (8G, 27A) and played 14 less games (66) than he did the prior season, but his average output speaks honestly to his lack of production. After signing a bulky six year contract on September 1st of last year, the Blue Jackets were certainly hoping “Wennie” would either repeat or exceed his 2016-2017 performance.
