I agree the Team is struggling a bit to get to the dirty areas a little bit right now but overall they are still driving play and carrying play in their games.
Last year they struggled with it all season. This year they’ve shown they can get to those areas and produce and score. I say we let them work out of this 4 game slump before writing them off.

My biggest concern is that Elias Lindholm has had the midas touch all year... ridiculous on-ice SH%, tipped every point shot in, shorthanded points, etc.... but the larger sample of his career has been a player closer to Sam Bennett on the offensive luck categories... known for hitting posts and having a muffin shot.
If Lindholm is a pumpkin again it's a regression that nice analytics won't solve - he had nice analytics in CAR too.
