They are playing way stronger lines while also facing waaaay more defensive zone starts. On top of that, stats like that skew as they get larger, 3M is on the ice a lot more. It’s pretty bad analysis. I see a lot about how the second line needs to produce more and yet they’re corsi is still elite while scoring at the same pace. Makes no sense to me. Our second line is far from being anything resembling a problem with the team. It’s one of the more productive and balanced lines in the league. Good offense combined with elite defensive play.
