Kessel recorded two blocked shots across 13:00 of ice time in Thursday's 5-2 loss to the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

Kessel has now played 10 NHL games but has yet to post a point. Through eight games this season, he has averaged 16:26 of ice time, firing six shots on net and blocking 18 shots. The 23-year-old blueliner produced 42 points through 115 games in the AHL, so his ceiling is certainly limited at this level.
