Noah Juulsen's point totals have taken a major tumble, but a little context and analysis places his season in a brighter light.
The stats aren't flattering. They're perhaps worrying.
Noah Juulsen's production has fallen from 52 points last season, to a mere 28 this season. He went from leading Everett defenders in scoring by 16 points to trailing Brycen Martin by nine points, and Cole MacDonald by eight.
But if you dig a little deeper, Juulsen's season has actually been fairly good. He continues to provide high-end two-way play consistently, making him the number one defender on arguably the WHL's best defensive team.
