Jesse Puljujärvi has undergone a tremendous transformation

In the video all the regular series paints of Jesse Pulujärvi. NHL on Elisa Entertainment Viaplays and V sport.

Jesse Puljujärvi rushed to the NHL troughs in the neck in October and rotted a handsome 13 (6 + 7) power points in the first 11 games.

The star was finally lit, many Oilers fans thought.

However, the pace froze quickly, and after the regular season, the Finn’s balance was 36 (14 + 22) points in 65 games.

In the opening round of the playoffs, Puljujärvi ended up as an Oilers pilot Jay Woodcroft to the kennel. In the Kings series, the Finn got ice time on average only 9.30 per match, while in the regular season credit was found with an average of more than 16 minutes.

Benching looks like a really special solution, because despite the inefficiency, a high-quality NHL player has hatched from Lake Puljujärv due to a drastic transformation.

The story continues after the picture.

Child star

Born in the municipality of Älvkarleby on the Swedish side, Puljujärvi was a child’s star in its junior years. A top promise that allowed the field to do what it wanted – and Puljujärvi did.

With the skating skills learned in hockey, a large winger was often impossible to hold in a large euro bowl, even though he was playing against a couple of years older.

At the 2016 World Championships in Juniors, the whole of Finland fell in love with Lake Puljujärvi, when the wide-smiling boy from the north won the tournament points exchange a couple of years younger and led to the Finnish World Cup gold. Sebastian Ahon and Patrik Laine alongside.

Six months later, Edmonton Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli stepped onto the stage at First Niagara Center and echoed the name of Lake Puljujärvi. The legendary Canadian club made a super-promise at the NHL booking ceremony at number four.

Edmonton fans expected the Finn to become right away Connor McDavidin radar pair. Dreamed of a new 80’s when Jari Kurri and Wayne Gretzky dominate the series.

It happened differently.

All in the trash

Puljujärvi finally marinated the washable quality player into the NHL only this season, five years after the booking ceremony.

And the breakthrough really didn’t happen in the style that fans expected in the summer of 2016.

Puljujärvi has transformed from a painter spitting paint into an excavator and a reliable work manager who no longer spills on his own, as younger.

There is no longer any information about Kuljetuspalvelu-Puljujärvi. Today, he is the feeder-Puljujärvi, who cleverly distributes the puck to his chainmates with even one touch.

The tremendous transformation finally took place incredibly quickly, as almost everything Puljujärvi did in Kärpi in the early part of 2020 has been thrown in the trash. Puljujärvi no longer meanders and curves outside the game in search of a itchy spot. He drives straight to the finish line, takes shocks and uses his hard physique to advantage in battles.

On his own head a man slips his tongue under his belt. He often places McDavid and Leon Draisaitlia on a plot of land when superstars slip out of defense.

The skill player has become a humble support player who does a lot of small and inconspicuous things on the ice. He has become a plus-mark, winning player. That’s why quirking in the playoffs feels special, even if there’s no power.

The development curve in Puljujärvi is much the same as in the World Championships Joel Armia once. Even as a teenager, Porilain was a skilled paint cannon who now makes a million accounts as a hard dunner.

Stunning statistics

When Puljujärvi was on the field, Edmonton dominated as many as 59.78 percent in the regular season with five to five goals. The reading was the best of the whole team.

The ratio of Finnish hazardous paint sites (58.53%) to even levels was also top notch. Only with significantly less players Derick Brassardilla (62.22%) and William Lagessonilla (59.13%) were better figures in that statistic.

With Lake Puljujär on the ice, Edmonton also won the shots by 58.58 percent.

The Tornio man was one of Edmonton’s best players in the regular season in light of advanced statistics. He also made his chain friends better.

However, in the soaring head statistics, it is worth noting that Puljujärvi was usually hit on the field when the start was at the head. He had to start on his own, or 25.73%. The reading was the lowest on the team.

On the other hand, Lake Puljujärvi was the second highest percentage of Edmonton players for offensive head starts (39.04%). He was preceded only by Lagesson (40.74%).

Prodigal

More important facts than advanced statistics are goals and scores. Puljujärvi does not yet shine in them, but he often gets to good places to work.

The winger had almost 21 goals in the regular season, but the net only dusted 14 times. The firing rate was a lousy 8.8.

A peer of Lake Puljujärvi Patrik Laine is a good benchmark in these statistics. Columbus’ cold-blooded paint sprayer created only 17.6 goals in the regular series, but with an itching accuracy of 15.6 percent, the paint lamp ignited as many as 26 times.

Despite the change in role, Puljujärvi still has a huge desire to score goals. The man shoots hard and hard, but he is not a clinical finisher. Goals lack relaxation that is hard to find when gaming is otherwise a hard twist.

Directing Edmonton’s “Bison King” scored just one goal in the regular season, even though the man’s office was in front of the goal. From there, he shoveled a total of eight cabinets.

If Puljujärvi manages to develop his finishing skills and learns, for example, to direct more discs in front of the goal, he may well become Gabriel Landeskogin style paint bull that rots over 30 cabinets a season.

If such a guy is not suitable for Woodcroft, there will certainly be takers for Lake Puljujärvi. The Finn will become a limited free agent in the summer.

The season in Edmonton and Lake Puljujri continues Thursday morning against Calgary at 4:30 p.m. This is the first game in a series of matches.
