Kassian doesn't play on the power play

Kassian hasn't played on a top 6 role more than a handful of games this year (his most common linemates are Richardson and Booth)

Hodgson was with Vanek to start the year and has played top 6 in Buffalo most of the year

Don't know how it's cherry picking when trying to find the most common statistic they have
