I noticed that during even strength play he tends to drift out of the zone early as well.
On the other hand, I love the breakout on the power play with Johnny playing defense/trailer. It gives him a great opportunity for a fast break into the offensive zone.

Perhaps a guy playing that high on the PP forces the PKers to be stretched, thus allowing for a cleaner breakout.
The Flames PP is on absolute fire right now, so they are doing something right.
