Career playoff points for the Flames' top 9 (Games / Pts / PPG):
Monahan:.. 28 / 21 / 0.75
Bennett:.... 28 / 18 / 0.64
Gaudreau:. 28 / 18 / 0.64
Dube:........... 8 / 5 / 0.63
Lucic:...... 122 / 76 / 0.62
Lindholm:.... 13 / 7 / 0.54
Backlund:.. 28 / 13 / 0.46
Mangiapane: 13 / 5 / 0.38
Tkachuk:..... 15 / 5 / 0.33
The thing that strikes me about this list is that this playoffs aligns exactly with the career numbers. So we probably aren't talking one-off performances here.
The problem I have, looking at that list, is not Bennett (he's the brightest spot), it's the 2nd line. Other than Backlund's PK, the 2nd line has been invisible in this series, and their stats say the same thing career-wise.
