With two holes left to play, Minnesota on Friday and Vancouver Saturday, Edmonton defenceman Justin Schultz is in the running for the NHL’s Green Jacket.
Out of 828 players, the Oilers rookie has the 824th worst plus-minus in the league. He’s at 19-under, three shots off the lead held by Florida’s Erik Gudbranson (-22). Teammate Nick Schultz is -15, making the Schultz-Schultz tandem a whopping -34 combined.
