Goals over Expected
1. Zary +6.34
2. Weegar +3.06
3. Tanev +2.77
The rest of the team is negative.
The bottom
18. Huberdeau -14.62
17. Kadri -7.75
16. Backlund -5.42
15. Lindholm -4.37
Huberdeau's number is off the charts. Imagine if he was on the ice for 15 more goals and had 10 more points ... It wouldn't be a 115 point season, but he'd be tracking for 60-65 points and it would feel like a step in the right direction.
I've never seen an expected variance that big and we're only 1/3 of the way into the season.

It's actually unreal at this point.
Whenever there is a high quality chance with him on the ice it's never finished.
He needs to be better, but man he's been super unlucky too.
