Why Liam Ohgren’s Puck Touches Could Make or Break His NHL Future
“At the same time, we are looking at where he’s playing and what he’s doing. It’s only his second year over here in North America. Let him go down, play and find his game,” Hynes said on the decision. “The big thing for us is puck touches. Without the puck, he has been responsible and his details were certainly growing but now, with a faster game and less time and space, it’s just the puck touches and establishing himself more offensively.”
Ohgren, 21, had 19 goals, 18 assists and 37 points in 41 AHL games last year. He was sent down to get more puck touches because despite the lack of scoring and being a young prospect who’s top ability is scoring, the Wild felt the need to continue to play him on the fourth line.
