Regular Season Statistics with the Franchise
Stats in bold signifies team leader.
The skill and offensive leadership has always been there for Martin, dating back to his high school days. It was even exhibited at
times in his first couple years.

But 07-08 was when he really shone. With the departure of Brian Rafalski, there was uncertainty as far as who would be the
quarterback of the offense, especially the power play.

It also meant added responsibility for Martin.

He would step up, though. The power play... well, the offense in general, I'll throw in, was still sporadic at times, but when it
was clicking, he was making it happen. His game took a big step forward.

And it can only keep going forward.
