Even strength 55.6% corsi with 42.7% off zone starts. Very good by almost any measurement. Last year he finished with 55% corsi on only 36.3% off zone starts, which is very very good. Both are good numbers regardless. Relative corsi is lower than last year, primarily because the team as a whole has better possession metrics. His shooting percentage is down 3.4% which we should at least see return a bit to the mean before the end of the season. On ice shooting percentage (the team as a wholes shooting percentage when he’s on the ice) is down 2.2% from last year which has probably contributed to at least 10 goals which explains the (still useless) poorer plus minus number.
