One game scouting grade for Alexei Yemelin

Above average grade, with an above-average d-zone risk / reward rating

With all the interest from fans and media alike I thought I'd post a one-game grade for Alexei Yemelin. The grade is from Russia's quarter final win over Canada.

Yemelin is a 6'2", 222 lbs left-handed defenseman. He plays a physical game and has average speed.

He posted a final grade of 69. He won 50% if his offensive-zone puck-battles, while also winning 57% of his defensive-zone puck-battles. He was particularly effective with his first pass, as he was successful with 75% of his defensive-zone passes, and 100% of his neutral-zone passes.

Offensive-zone Risk / Reward
(Habs regular season average:  0.12)

Yemelin's work in the offensive-zone was less than stellar, as he focused much of his attention on defense, while not playing on the powerplay. He averaged only 0.32 offensive events per minute of ice-time, while contributing a negative risk / reward rating of -0.06. This means that he managed more negative events than positive events in the offensive-zone
