The offense has struggled but the defense has also been a disappointment, allowing 3.35 goals per game. Johnathan Kovacevic and Mike Matheson have combined for 3.1 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to find open shots on the net with ease. The one bright spot has been the play of goaltender Samuel Mountembeault who has a .909 save percentage and a 2.89 goals-against average on 640 shots with 3.8 goals saved above average.
