One of the best players at carrying the puck into the offensive zone is New York Islanders rookie Joshua Ho-Sang. Not only in the Islanders franchise but amongst the National Hockey League.
The other day, Hockey Graphs writer Scott Tierney, based on data from Corey Sznajder, put out a graph that shows the forwards in the NHL and their Carry-in/pass success rate and pass rate.
During his 21 game stint at the end of the 2016-17 season, Ho-Sang was an absolute revelation for the Islanders. We knew he was talented, after a successful junior career with 292 points in 256 games.
