This one-game scouting report is from the Sarnia Sting's season-ending loss to the Saginaw Spirit on March 30th, 2012. Galchenyuk showed impressive puck-protection skills along the wall, as well as an ability to find the open-man in the offensive-zone. He had only 2 even-strength defensive-zone starts the entire game, and played on the Sting's number-one powerplay unit. He definitely outperformed teammate Nail Yakupov during the game; although Yakupov was likely not at his best due to lingering concussion issues.
OVERALL GRADE
Galchenyuk earned an above-average overall grade of 72. His highest rating was produced in the offensive-zone, although his work in both the neutral and defensive-zones was impressive as well. Thanks in part to the high amount of offensive-zone starts, an incredible 80% of Galchenyuk`s events took place in the offensive-zone.

NEUTRAL-ZONE RISK/REWARD RATING AND RATIO

He completed all 3 of his attempted passes, and was successful with his only attempt to beat an opposing player 1on1 (deke). He engaged in only 0.05 neutral-zone events per-minute of ice-time.
