Mikael Backlund is a busy center, he takes just under 20 draws a game.
At 52% (great face off guy) he wins 10.2 face offs per game
At 48% (bad face off guy) he wins 9.5 face offs per game
And that's a busy guy.
Frost in 5 games has averaged 14.8 face offs.
At 52% (great face off guy) he wins 7.7 face offs per game
At 48% (bad face off guy) he wins 7.1 face offs per game
We are talking about less than one face off victory by centerman.
I'm glad Frost is a face off guy, but it's way down my list for the tool kit needed to play center in the NHL.
