Sven Petterson had a tremendously better season this year vs. his rookie season. He was a little slow on development in his rookie season, but he showed tremendous progression in S70. He exceeded his own expectations this year, as he led the Malamutes defensive corps in both goals (12) and points (38). He only had 4 goals and 10 assists for a total of 14 points in his rookie season. More importantly, he wanted to make sure he was steady on the defensive end – and Sven saw massive improvements there as well. In season 69, Sven had an abysmal -48 +/- rating (ouch). He saw this improve to a -3 rating in season 70. Additionally, he saw massive improvements to his Corsi and Fenwick stats. Season 69 he saw a corsi of -475 with a corsi for % of 36.5%. These improved to +120 and 53.2%, respectively, in season 70. As for fenwick, season 69 he saw a -358 with a fenwick for % of 35.7%. These improved to +68 and 52.4%, respectively, in season 70. The Malamutes are still fighting in the playoffs as well – partly due to Sven’s drastic improvements year over year.
