Golden Knights' Ryan Reaves: Surprising first-half output

Reaves collected a career-high 15 points and eight goals during the first half of the 2018-19 season.

Known as an enforcer, Reaves hadn't topped 13 points for an entire season during his NHL career. Thanks to increased ice time -- a career-high 11:20 per game -- and seeing consistent power-play action, Reaves has experienced a breakout campaign. That's not to say that the big-bodied forward hasn't contributed in his usual fashion. Reaves owns 188 hits and 58 penalty minutes through 51 games this year. While the physical part of his game should remain consistent, it would be more surprising if the offensive outburst sticks, especially with Reaves' power-play time waning toward the end of the first half.
