Canucks Top Senators, Backed by Three Points From Brock Boeser
4 years agoVancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser registered two goals and an assist Thursday night as the Canucks won their second game in as many nights over the Senators. Boeser was held off the scoresheet in the first half of the back-to-back but more than made up for it by helping stake Vancouver to a 3-goal lead early in the second period that Ottawa could not overcome. Boeser now has nine points and 23 shots in 10 games this season but has an interesting statistical anomaly to keep an eye on. Boeser has six goals but has only scored in three different games, embodying the very idea of a streaky scorer. His shots per game rate is down from last season, but he is making up for it by shooting an unsustainable 26.1 percent. His shooting percentage is due for regression, so as it levels off, he will need to get closer to his shot generation rate from last year to retain his current fantasy value.
