GORDO ON PARAYKO: He showed real offensive promise during his first three seasons while scoring 103 points. He bumped his shots total from 165 to 188 and then 212. There was reason to expect a Year 4 offensive breakout for Parayko, given the influx of talented forwards for him to connect with. So it was strange to see him earn just five assists in his first 49 games this season while failing to earn a significant power-play role. On the other hand, he has more assertive on the defensive end while making some highlight-reel plays around the net. He is plus-7 and his 92 blocked shots leads the team.
