JURAJ SLAFKOVSKY 2026-27 SCORING PROJECTION Projection No. 005.2026 Projected Games Played: 83 Goals: 36 Assists: 47 Points: 83 Entering his 5th full season of NHL service, many are still waiting for Slafkovsky to establish himself as a dominant power forward in the NHL. While he is powerful and can dominate the puck for moments, Slaf' almost comes off as too friendly to be the bully that many want him to be. Still, he is an established producer and a key member of a balanced Montreal offense that has a variety of weapons up front to punish the opposition with. The true beauty of Montreal's current roster is that they wont need any single player to carry the offense. Instead, their balanced attack should ensure that everyone gets their share of touches and opportunities - provided they stay healthy. Slafkovsky is ready to unlock point-per-game performance for the first time in his NHL career, and should also be a vastly improved player on the defensive side of the puck. For this writer, the true measure of success for Slafkovksy in 2026-27 will be if he can remain 100% healthy when the playoffs start, and if he can produce during those playoffs games when things tighten up under the bright lights. #NHLprojections #GoHabsGo #NHL #Hockey #FantasyHockey #NHLfantasy
