Mattias Janmark

Fast, honest and almost entirely without offense — a coach's fourth-liner who has outlasted most of his draft class.

Last Season

One goal and eight points in 43 games, minus-eight, under twelve minutes a night. That is a thin year even by his standards, and he is now the wrong side of thirty-three.

The Finesse Game

The skating has always been the asset and it is still there — long strides, real top speed, and enough of it to be a genuine threat shorthanded. He has scored more than one shorthanded goal in his career by simply outrunning a defenseman who assumed he had time.

Everything else is limited. The hands are fine in a straight line and unreliable in traffic, the shot does not frighten anyone, and he does not create for linemates. He is a north-south player who does the same three things every shift and does them correctly.

The Physical Game

Six-two but lean, and he plays a positional rather than physical game. He is willing on the forecheck and along the wall without winning many of those battles outright. He blocks shots and takes hits.

The Intangibles

Ten years and 680 games into a career that was never supposed to last this long, and every one of those years has been spent on the penalty kill and the fourth line, mostly for teams that were trying to win. That is a real endorsement.

The read now is age. The speed is what has kept him employed; when it goes, so does the job, and last season’s production suggests the margin has gotten thin.
