Ivan Provorov
Since January or so, Provorov has really settled back into the play that we saw so much from him last season. What that means is dictating play when he’s on the ice by making subtle, defensive plays and either lugging or passing the puck up-ice.
Earlier in the year, the Russian blueliner really struggled defensively, which hurt his offensive time. That hasn’t been the case of late, and especially in the past two games this week.
Provorov had a single assist against the Islanders but did finish the game as a plus-four.
