Goligoski has posted a minus-8 rating and started 56.3 percent of his shifts in the defensive zone through the first 11 games of the season.

EDGE Analysis

The good news is that the 31-year-old defenseman has six assists and 20 blocked shots with an average of 24:07 of ice time per night (3:20 on the power play) thus far. However, Goligoski will likely continue to be a burden in the plus-minus column, which hinders his upside in all settings including the statistic.
