Grant and teammate Eli McLaughlin are tied for second in the NLL with five power-play goals. Crawford s nine power-play assists are an NLL-best. Grant sits in second with eight power-play helpers. The three NLL players with the best shooting percentages are all on the Mammoth: Jackson Decker (.667, currently on Injured Reserve), Creighton Reid (.600), and Jordan Gilles (.556).
