Team Performance Snapshot

Key Insights

  • Shane Ott emerged as Bloomington’s primary playmaker. Ott recorded one of the team’s highest assist totals while still contributing offensively as a scorer. His position well below the diagonal line reflects a pass-first offensive style that helped drive much of the Bison attack.

  • Eddie Matsushima and Sullivan Mack provided balanced offensive production. Both forwards combined strong goal totals with high assist numbers, giving Bloomington versatile contributors capable of both finishing and creating offense.

  • Kyle Jackson generated offense primarily through playmaking. Jackson posted one of the team’s highest assist totals while scoring at a lower rate relative to several teammates, indicating an important setup role within the offensive structure.

  • Nikita Sedov stood out offensively among defensemen. Sedov recorded one of the highest assist totals on the roster while also contributing goals from the blue line. His offensive production clearly separated him from the rest of Bloomington’s defense corps.

  • Bloomington’s offensive production leaned heavily toward distribution and balanced scoring. Many of the Bison’s top contributors clustered below or near the diagonal line, suggesting the offense relied more on puck movement and shared production rather than a single dominant goal scorer.

Team Season in Review Dashboard

Key Insights

  • Bloomington played almost exactly league-average hockey overall. The Team Identity Map places the Bison almost directly on the league-average intersection, suggesting a balanced profile without a major offensive or defensive extreme. Their season identity was built more on consistency and depth than domination in one specific area.

  • Nikita Sedov delivered elite offensive production from the blue line. Sedov led the Bison with 59 points and also posted one of the team’s strongest plus/minus ratings. His combination of offensive output and strong two-way impact made him one of the league’s most productive defensemen.

  • Bloomington featured balanced offensive depth across multiple forwards. Shane Ott, Kyle Jackson, Eddie Matsushima, Sullivan Mack, Mark Kaleinikovas, Chongmin Lee, and Lou-Félix Denis all contributed meaningful scoring production. The spread of point totals suggests the Bison relied on multiple contributors rather than one dominant scoring line.

  • Several top offensive players also posted strong plus/minus numbers. Sullivan Mack and Nikita Sedov combined high point production with excellent plus/minus ratings, indicating their offense translated into positive overall team results while on the ice.

  • Callum Tung handled the majority of the goaltending workload effectively. Tung faced significantly more shots than Bloomington’s other goaltenders while maintaining a save percentage above 90%. His workload and stability suggest he served as the team’s clear primary starter throughout much of the season.
