Skating out of the penalty box, Brandt Clarke scored the overtime winner (his first NHL goal) for the Kings over Boston.

Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. *** Given that the analytics wars have seemingly reignited over Juraj Slafkovsky experiencing a spike in his development trajectory, I’d like to reluctantly weigh in.

Last week we looked at IPP, and we will be continuing to review some other ‘underlying’ numbers in the next few weeks as well.
