Werenski has been dialed-in and healthy all season, which had been a problem. He also had six points (one goal, five assists) in six games and was plus-8 in six Olympic games and assisted on Jack Hughes’ golden goal that defeated Canada 2-1 in overtime. Since returning from the Olympics, he has 19 points (two goals, 17 assists) in 23 games.<\/p>\n

It’s pretty cool to watch.”<\/p>\n Voting totals (points awarded on a 5-4-3-2-1-basis): Zach Werenski, Blue Jackets, 74 points (12 first-place votes); Cale Makar, Avalanche, 58 (1); Quinn Hughes, Wild, 30 (1); Evan Bouchard, Oilers, 28 (2); Lane Hutson<\/a>, Montreal Canadiens, 18; Rasmus Dahlin<\/a>, Buffalo Sabres, 14; Moritz Seider<\/a>, Detroit Red Wings, 5; Miro Heiskanen<\/a>, Dallas Stars, 3; Darren Raddysh<\/a>, Tampa Bay Lightning, 3; Charlie McAvoy<\/a>, Boston Bruins, 3; Matthew Schaefer<\/a>, New York Islanders, 2; Erik Karlsson<\/a>, Pittsburgh Penguins<\/p>\n NHL.com independent correspondent Craig Merz contributed to this report<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Werenski has been dialed-in and healthy all season, which had been a problem.
