The worst forwards are Brouwer (10.19 / 141 minutes), Stajan (9.55 / 101 minutes) and Bennett (8.31 / 58 minutes)
Same thing with CA/60. Worst players are Brouwer (111.7), Bennett (109.0) and Stajan (107.4). Best players are Lazar (66.6), Jankowski (73.4), Hathaway (75.8) and Monahan (88.3)
Now, it's exceptionally likely that Jankowski/Hathaway are only getting the second pair minutes, but honestly, Gulutzan should have looked at this and tried them against the other team's top pairs. Also - and this is only very limited minutes - I didn't realize just how effective Lazar has been in a PK role. He also definitely deserved more ice time.

Bennett was our best PKer last year IIRC paired with Alex Chiasson.
I suspect both Stajan and Bennett's data is skewed by Brouwer. Teams keying in on Brouwer was exemplified last game on the replay where we saw how they just isolated him.
