CALDER TROPHY WATCH: The SeaKraken's Beniers in driver's seat, but the LetsGoOilers' Skinner, TexasHockey's Johnston, Yotes' Maccelli are making late pushes, writes SEllisHockey.
Last month, I pointed out that winning the NHL’s rookie of the month award has been a curse.
Shane Pinto won it in October before falling off the face of the earth. Logan Thompson snagged it in November, but struggled to remain consistent and is currently on the sidelines. Pyotr Kochetkov won it in December, and, by no fault of his own, found himself back in the AHL. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was great in January, but has gone 2-5-2 ever since.
So, sorry Mads Sogaard. Since winning the award for February, Sogaard has allowed at least four goals in each of his starts and holds a 1-3-0 record in that span. Truly, you don’t want to win this honor. We’ve got a month left in the regular season, so we’ve got a solid look at how the Calder Trophy race is shaping up. Here’s a look at 10 freshmen you need to know:Talk about Mr. Consistency. Beniers has never been the best rookie in any given month, and he isn’t blowing the doors off the rest of the rookie class, either. But he’s been among the best each month, statistically, and hasn’t relinquished the scoring lead since the start of the season.
Johnson has quietly remained effective as a first-year pro, and he’s on a good stretch with four points in five games this month. His lack of high-end production isn’t an issue, given the team he’s on. Given that, it’s good to see him third among CBJ forwards with a 47.83 expected goals-for percentage and the eighth-best rookie in GAR and WAR, too.
