Well, 3 goals his first 13 and they were starting to be experimenting with Jagr on the top line, until Jagr got his first injury. So that’s 5 goals in 48 book end games or so, with the other 16 coming in less than 30 games.
And last year too, 5 goals in his first 50 games. He then got moved up and went on his streak, scoring 9 of his 15 goals in a 16 game stretch mid season.
2 years ago he got 4 goals all season on the thirdish line.
Definition of streaky and I’m not sure the Flames can be dependent on their top scoring line waiting for him to catch a hot streak.
And the additional issue is,when he’s not on the top line, he has point totals similar to the first half of last season and all of two seasons ago. Nor is he the wrecking ball he was in the 1st playoff series 3 years back.
