Byfuglien fired a half dozen shots on goal in Sunday's Game 5 defeat to Vegas.
Byfuglien has never been hesitant to put pucks on the net, as he recorded 19 shots during the Western Conference finals. Unfortunately, the defenseman only found the back of the net once, for a 5.3 shooting percentage. The Minnesota native led the team in ice time at 24:20 per game, which included 3:04 spent with the man advantage. The 32-year-old also led the blue line in goals (eight), assists (37) and power-play points (22), unsurprising given his minutes. Locked in for another three seasons at $7.6 million, Byfuglien will continue to be the centerpiece of the Jets' defense at both ends of the ice.
