Ryker Evans is the kind of defenseman who makes things happen from the blue line, a slick-passing orchestrator whose career assist rate of 0.21 per game far outpaces his goals, proving he's built to create for others. But this season, Evans has added a compelling layer to his game, transforming into a legitimate threat to light the lamp himself with 8 goals in 67 games, all while logging nearly 18 minutes a night as a trusted, growing presence on the Kraken backend.
While Ryker Evans logged three assists over his last five games, including a solid output in his single appearance this season, a closer look reveals a concerning trend. His points-per-minute efficiency has notably dipped by 38% compared to that season opener, crucially paired with a complete absence of shots on goal across all recent contests. This suggests Evans is a player to monitor from a distance, as he isn't currently demonstrating the offensive drive to warrant a must-watch tag.
