I don't think Stempy has been bad at all for the most part, actually. His skating is pretty good considering he recovered from a broken foot relatively recently. He's still forechecking like a demon too.
He's really suffered some pretty bad puck luck since his return from the IR, which has made him look alot worse than he's been playing. Just needs a few good bounces to go his way to reward the effort he often puts in.
Sure, he had a few really bad turnovers and looked pretty bad against the Panthers, but all-in-all, he's been a good bit better than the numbers and plus-minus will say.
