Offense: The Offense has been very inconsistent. It has been good but only when it seems our defense is awful. It struggles when Roberto Luongo puts on a show. The offense needs to be more consistent as the teams is not getting a lot of scoring past Trocheck, Huberdeau, Dadonov and Barkov. Although we have been getting depth scoring from guys like Sceviour and Bjugstad, they need to be more consistent.  Grade: B

Defense: This defense has been getting a lot of flack, as no one likes to be blunt and needs a scapegoat. Nonetheless while most of the flack has been deserved, not all of it has. After a rocky start, this defense has clamped down a little. They are still struggling. Mark Pysyk is getting unlucky with a +/- of -5. This defense needs improvement but it has been improving. Grade: C-

Goaltending: Roberto. Luongo. The man is a legend. Luongo has been dominant in return from injury and has a .925 save percentage overall. Since returning from injury he has a .937 save percentage. However James Reimer has looked inconsistent and shaky. Grade: C+

Power Play: The 2nd power play unit is awful. While the first features big name stars, they are struggling to score. Grade: D-

Penalty Kill: Overall it sucks. Grade: F

Overall Grade: D
