We knew Tyson Barrie was a good puck mover, but we didn’t know he was THIS good. At the time of writing this, he’s currently leading all NHL defensemen in points with 4-26-30 in 33 games with a +4 to go along with it. It’s incredibly rare that an NHL D-man can hit the point per game mark because their added defensive responsibilities means they generally have less chances for offence than forwards do. Yet, Barrie is flirting with the point per game mark, a remarkable feat for any d-man.
