Its the same this season. Of the forwards you would put on the 2nd unit, Colborne, Backlund, Raymond, Jones, Ferland and Frolik have put up 2 points for 60 minutes(ish) of PP time. Jooris on the other hand has a measly 55 seconds. Is it not time we gave him a shot on the 2nd unit? Can't be any worse than the guys that usually get put on that line.

Good question. Some kind of icetime management thing could play a part? Or saving him up for other kinds of situations like PK.
