To me that suggests that he's just been unlucky and more likely then not we'll see a regression to the mean over the course of the season.
The Captain get's a B-.

1 goal and he gets a B-?
He's been OK in about half the games and less than OK in the other half.
He hasn't been getting as many chances as he does typically - and too many plays are dieing on his stick
But even if we forget all that - 1 goal is 1 goal. Shots, chances, and the rest of it don't really matter. He's the highest paid player on the team and needs to deliver more than a single goal through a significant chunk of this season.
