Lucic led all Flames in Goals/60 on the PP this year at 2.8 (second place was Lindholm at 2.23) and was 6th on the Flames in Points/60 on the PP at 4.49.
His first 2 years in Edmonton, he led them in Goals/60 on the PP at 2.36 and was second behind only McJesus himself in Points/60 on the PP at 5.03 (McDavid was at 5.44)
He more than deserves his PP spot.
