If Grand Rapids' defense can straighten out their shots, they'll be able to put more space between them and Toronto.

Last season, faceoffs were the second biggest struggle for the Grand Rapids Griffins.

This season, faceoffs wins are leading to a big chunk of their goals. Once the Griffins have possession, they are able to make the most of it.
