I was about to comment pretty much the same. 11 points in 14 GP in March. It's not the first time he's shown flashes of good play, but he's been pretty consistently good lately. Which is also easy to see from the lack of constant criticism on CP

2013-14 : 0.35 PPG
2014-15 : 0.44 PPG
2015-16 : 0.52 PPG (so far).

For me at least he's pretty much reached what I've seen as his upside offensively. At 26 it's unlikely there's much more to see there. His s% this season is way up, but if he can carry this level of play into next season, he should still hover around that 0.5 PPG number, which is perfectly fine for scoring depth. I'm still hoping for incremental improvements in two-way play.
