Of the 6 games that I've watched, there was only one where he was a complete non-factor. His line was starting to look dominant, but then Neal went out with a concussion (missed 3 games and counting) and Malkin went out with a sunburn, so their chemistry hasn't had a chance to continue developing. He's looked very dangerous on the power play, and had a nice one-timer on Thursday that originally was counted as his goal before realizing that Kunitz got a piece of it.
I was at the Pens game in Florida on Saturday, and all the Pens fans that I talked to had been very satisfied with his play so far.
