He's cutting back on the bad penalties. Only taken 3 minors total in the last 15 games, two of which were in the Nashville game (bad ones too, so they would understandably be vilified much more). The 15 game stretch preceding that, only 4 minors total.
Before that, it was pretty bad. Two per game, two in two games etc. But if we're calling his bad penalty frequency out, we need to look at the actual counting stats.
