Its just a few games sample but Monahans is at a sparkling 58.3% over 5 games and in a much smaller 1 game sample Lucic is 62%! I think they've just discovered in practice that Lucic and his huge upper body strength is actually good at at it. Plus it has to un-nerve the other guy across from him wouldn't you think LOL?
After the draw roles go back to normal and Bennett ( 42%) goes back to center. Lindholms been 47% and backlund who is usually really good is a dismal "McDavid like" 37%.
All this stuff is on the Flames own stats website.
