Danila Yurov is on the precipice of something significant. While his overall point production per game hasn't dramatically shifted, the raw goal-scoring is there, with three goals in his last five games on a slightly higher shot percentage. His increased ice time and the positive breakout delta suggest Yurov is building momentum, and the recent uptick in scoring, even without assists, points to a player finding the back of the net more consistently, making him a must-watch talent right now.
