After an unrelenting bout with staph infection, the 23-year-old blueliner finally returned healthy to kick off this year. Since then, Klefbom has been excellent and has been a force on the Oilers defensive corps so far.
With a 5.0 relative Fenwick and a 2.9 relative Corsi so far, Klefbom has been excellent when it comes to puck possession. He takes care of the puck and rarely turns it over, and has been great in starting the breakout. Not to mention, he has three assists, 30 shot blocks and 10 hits to start the year, and has led all Oilers defensemen in ice time.
