...we call them the Flames now....
I don't think calling it "worse" is fair because he is still a rookie. Yes, he's had a drop off since returning from Calgary, however if you compare him any other rookie at this point of the year, I think you would find most have.
He's only had 1G and 1A in 6 games since his return, so it is far less then his normal pace. Coach Huska also had to call him out after a game for being invisible and not using his speed or smarts in a game and saying he needed to be better. I'm not sure the promotion and his play are really connected, I think it's him being a rookie and his play being more connected.
