The Finnish striker got comfortable playing time in the Columbus game.
Jesse Puljujärvi returned to the NHL after a month off when the Pittsburgh Penguins played the Columbus Blue Jackets last night.
The Finn attacked Pens in a three-pointer by Kevin Hayes and Drew O’Connor alongside. The whole chain was left without power points, and Columbus won the game 4–3 with a score.
Puljujärvi got 13:37 of ice time. The man’s average ice time has been 11.42 this season. For Puljujärvi, one shot and one puck loss were recorded in the statistics.
Moneypuck’s according to the winger created 0.011 goals in front of the shot. The entire chain of Puljujärvi was barely on the plus side as expected, as the trio managed to create the expected 0.383 hits and 0.258 were created against it.
According to the same site, Columbus won the expected goal 2.82 to 2.4.
Last week, Puljujärvi was put on the farm via the transfer list after a long time in the stands, but he didn’t have time to play a single game in the AHL before returning to the NHL.
Puljujärvi has played 22 games in the NHL this season with powers of 3+5=8.
