Grundstrom was part of the trade that sent Jake Muzzin to the Toronto Maple Leafs. In addition to Grundstrom, the Kings received Sean Durzi and a 2019 first round draft pick. Most hockey fans didn’t consider Grundstrom to be an attractive piece to the trade, but he is and he’s proven it so far.
Since his NHL debut on March 9th against the Arizona Coyotes, Grundstrom has tallied three goals (all at even strength). Based on those even strength goal numbers, Grundstrom is averaging 1.96 goals/60. Before I continue, I’d like to mention the fact that it’s a small sample size.
