Gostisbehere set a new career high with 65 points (13 goals, 52 assists) in 2017-18, and also averaged a new best of 21:27 of ice time.

With the emergence of Ivan Provorov, Gostisbehere had less eyes and pressure on him, as he wasn't the only prolific young defensemen in Philadelphia. The 25-year-old has also developed into a clear power-play threat, as his 33 points on the man advantage led all defensemen, and his seven goals tied for first as well. Although the elite goal-scoring that made headlines when Gostisbehere was a rookie has been dialed back -- he's scored 20 goals the last two seasons compared to 17 in his debut 64-game stint -- he's more than made up for the dip with his increased assist total.
