Part two of our Mid-Season Report Card series shines the spotlight on the defensemen and the goalies. You can read part 1, featuring all of the grades for the forwards, here.
Stats: 12 GP, 2G-1A-3PTS, 51.16 CF%, 56.52 xGF%
Colin: His ability to guard the blue line has been missed, although I’m not excited for the return of his extra penalty minutes. Borowiecki genuinely looked like he’d turned a corner this season.
Beata: I never thought I’d miss him, and yet his improved play, combined with the terrible season nearly everyone else is having, has me yearning for the days when he was our biggest problem on defense.
