Why Liam Ohgren’s Puck Touches Could Make or Break His NHL Future
The Wild’s 19th overall pick from the 2022 NHL Draft was given a chance in training camp to take the Wild’s second line left wing spot with the absence of injured forward Mats Zuccarello. Ohgren did not play the best in preseason and opened the season on the fourth line.
“It’s a situation where we’ve given him different opportunities in different situations and when you look at it, he hasn’t taken one,” Hynes said on Ohgren.
A team starving for even-strength offense and goal scoring, kept Ohgren on the fourth line and played him only 9:10 a night. He was a minus-four, had four shots and zero points in five games.
