That's fairly typical of rookies and players who score 15-20 goals. They tend to get a chunk in a short amount of time. If they were more consistent they'd have more.

Matthew Tkachuk's hottest month was November with five goals. He had one goal in October, one goal in December and two goals in January.

Has it been tough to get a read on his goal scoring?

Most people will tear me apart over this solely based on the fact that Scouting Services once had him ranked 1st overall, and they can't see past that.

It's funny/odd you've never mentioned this insight before. Only now when he's playing poorly do you posit the idea Bennett is a mix of Bouma/Stajan. I'll say that's bonkers but okay.
