Jonathan Marchessault was dubbed the “Corsi God” early last season by the Golden Knights’ official Twitter account.
The nickname refers to the advanced statistic that measures puck possession through shot attempts, and Marchessault’s reputation for firing pucks at the net from all angles.
Yet, it’s not entirely accurate nowadays.
“When I have the chance, I’ll shoot it. But I’m not just about shooting anymore,” Marchessault said. “I’m just about making the right plays, and I think if I hold on more to pucks, it opens up more plays for us offensively.”
Marchessault grew from a high-volume shooter into a well-rounded playmaker with the Knights.
