Montreal Canadiens rookie Ivan Demidov is having a promising season with 26 points in 30 games, projecting to 71 points over an 82-game season. Despite his playmaking skills, Demidov has shown reluctance to shoot, with only six goals scored this season. He has taken 38 shots, ranking 10th on the team, and has a shooting percentage of 15.8%. Experts suggest that Demidov needs to be more selfish and take more shots, especially when in good positions, to increase his productivity and improve his chances in the rookie scoring race. Currently second in rookie points behind Anaheim's Beckett Senncke, Demidov could boost his performance by recognizing when he is the best option to shoot, rather than passing to teammates. His coach, Martin St-Louis, emphasizes the importance of making quick decisions and pouncing on scoring opportunities. If Demidov enhances his shooting frequency, he could lead to a more successful season and potentially secure a second Calder Trophy for the Canadiens.
