It's not completely out of context that his reads and overall game is back up to par yet due to his surgery is it?

He plays with hesitation, got absolutely owned by some of the Oilers. Went into the corner not expecting a hit, got leveled and lost the puck. Gives the puck away a lot in the offensive zone and looks generally slow to react.
That being said it's not a surprise at all coming off major surgery and a long time off. It was a pretty bad injury so coming back in prime shape would be unreasonable to expect.
