Yea, it's great to see the first line holding their own defensively and giving up very little, but as little as they're giving up, they're generating even less.
Among players who've played a minimum 3 games, they rank 4th last (Lindholm), 6th last (Gaudreau), and 42nd last (Monahan) in xGF/60. That's among 272 forwards.
Among players still in the Playoffs, they rank dead last (Lindholm), 2nd last (Gaudreau), and 26th last.
That's brutal.
It's like the coaches know they can't do anything offensively in the Playoffs 5v5 so they told them to literally only care about defense and try to do their offensive work on the PP.
