New Metric Highlights Blue Jackets’ Even Strength Impact
The Blue Jackets are receiving significant contributions from their top three players during even strength play. Early this season, there has been notable discussion about the team’s strong performance at 5-on-5.
RG.org placed three Blue Jackets players at the top of their MVP list, based on an intriguing metric developed by Sergey Pryakhin that focuses exclusively on even strength performance.
The Metric Explanation
This metric examines each player’s goal differential data by comparing the team’s performance when the player is on the ice versus when they are not. Using this comparison, it quantifies the individual impact on even strength goals.
Top Performers
- Kirill Marchenko leads the list with a 161 impact rating, 14 points ahead of the second place. Over 216 games before this season, he was on the ice for 37 more goals scored than allowed. Without him, the Blue Jackets conceded 124 more goals than they scored.
- Zach Werenski ranks second with a 147 impact rating.
- Dmitri Voronkov is third, with a 145 impact rating.
"At the top of Sergey's entire MVP list is Kirill Marchenko. He gets a 161 impact rating using the metric provided, which is +14 clear of second place."
The data clearly shows these players make a substantial difference for the Blue Jackets at even strength.
