From Montreal Hockey Now:
âYou could argue that Kovacevic has been the Canadiensâ best defenceman from a statistical point of view.
He ranks first on the team in shot control (55.5 percent), scoring chance control (50 percent), expected goals share (53.7), and expected goals against.
Heâs yet to hit the scoresheet, but itâs only fair to point out that his underlying numbers are bordering on elite, indicating that when Kovacevic is on the ice, great things happen.â
