Numbers for Nerds:
Both the Anaheim Ducks and the Winnipeg Jets have young and up-and-coming defensemen in their back end. Both 20 year old defensemen Jacob Trouba and Hampus Lindholm were drafted in the same year in 2012, 6th and 9th overall respectively. They are both currently 2nd in TOI. Trouba (4G-8A-12P)has one more point than Lindholm (3G-10-A-13P), but the latter having a +11 while the former holds a +4. It should be fun watching these two rise up in the ranks of defensemen in the next couple of years!
