Last season, UND goalie Cam Johnson went 24-4-2, 1.66 GAA, .935 save percentage. Johnson garnered All-American honors and was a finalist for the Mike Richter award. The 2016-17 season has gone a little differently.<\/p>\n

Make no mistake about it, Johnson\u2019s numbers have fallen off this season. Johnson will be the first one to admit that, but he\u2019s not the problem.<\/p>\n

In 30 games, Johnson is (15-11-3, 2.36 GAA and .907 save percentage<\/a>).\u00a0 Again, I\u2019ve said this many times, Johnson isn\u2019t the reason this team is struggling. This is a team effort, folks. There\u2019s plenty of blame to go around.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t believe me go back and re-watch Friday\u2019s game. Johnson made 21 saves in the second period alone. Friday\u2019s game could have gone either way. Defensive breakdowns and untimely odd-man rushes have been the downfall of this team.<\/p>\n

You cannot continue to let your goaltender face multiple grade-A opportunities and expect them to bail out the forwards and defensemen all of the time. Eventually, they\u2019re going to need to be more responsible play in the defensive zone. Again, this is a team effort.<\/p>\n

Hawks Have Been Highly Inconsistent<\/h2>\n

This year\u2019s team has been highly inconsistent. One night they\u2019ve looked like a team that could beat anyone in the nation. The next night, they played like a team that\u2019s lost and fighting for sixth place in the NCHC standings.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve mentioned a couple of times this season, missing from last season\u2019s championship team are underclassmen that gave up their college eligibility to play professional hockey (Paul LaDue, Keaton Thompson, Nick Schmaltz and Troy Stecher). Imagine if half of these players had come back for another season?<\/p>\n

NCHC Team Statistics<\/h2>\n

Statistically, The Hawks have struggled in comparison to previous seasons. At the present moment, their conference statistics are mediocre and beg for improvement. Offensively, the Hawks are ranked fifth in the NCHC in scoring 2.77 G\/PG. Defensively, they\u2019re are ranked third in the NCHC 2.68GA\/PG. On special teams, they\u2019re ranked fifth in the NCHC on the power play with 19.1%. On the penalty kill, they\u2019re ranked second in the NCHC with 86.7%.

National Team Statistics<\/h2>\n

The Hawks\u2019 national statistics are down from previous seasons. At the present moment, they are ranked 24th in the nation in scoring 3.06 G\/PG. They\u2019re ranked 20th in the nation on defense 2.58 GA\/PG. On special teams, the Hawks are struggling nationally: they\u2019re ranked 27th on the power play, 26\/140 (18.6%) and ranked 18th on the penalty kill, 121\/143 (80.0%).
