Defense: Marc Methot who averages the third most amount of ice time on the Sens is an impressive +12 on the year. Methot carries the 5th highest CF% on the club and the 4th highest FF%. While Methot isn’t a hockey poolers dream with only three points on the year. Methot is a valuable key to the Sens D defense playing hard minutes alongside the games best offensive defenseman Erik Karlsson.
