That's more a result of defense than offense. We generated 0.46 expected goals and allowed 0.19 with him on the ice, so you get a percentage of 70.77% despite him not generating a whole lot. Plus, at those low numbers you can get about 0.5 expected goals in a single shot, so the difference could literally be a single play.
Stajan was the same way - he'd go a month between points but still end up at a 53% expected goals because there were no chances for either team with him on the ice.
