Teuvo Teravainen

2018-2019 Season: 76 points (21 goals 55 assists)

2019-2020 Season projection: 78 points (28 Goals 50 Assists)

Last season, Teuvo Teravainen also had a career-high in points with 76. Teravainen has progressed every season he’s been with the Canes with scores of 42, 64, and now 76. I expect him to continue that progression. Turbo and Seabass are a lethal combination and if they remain on the same line for much of the season, then they will likely continue to flourish together. The Finns chemistry is off the charts and you can expect a lot of finesse and lethal shots if the two stay healthy.
