In my opinion.
And I am a huge proponent of advanced stats.
Overreacting to the first game of the year is always a good course of action though.

Not sure I agree. They looked like they sucked last night, and the underlying numbers showed exactly that. I find it useful to look at it like that.
If we want to expand the data set, here is 2019/2020 + 1 game from 2021:
Johnny Gaudreau:
SF%: 48.94
GF%: 48.78
xGF%: 48.91
SCF%: 48.53
HDCF%: 47.40
Sean Monahan:
SF%: 48.38
GF%: 44.05
xGF%: 47.90
SCF%: 46.80
HDCF%: 47.89
They hurt the team at even strength and have for some time.
Here they are during the playoffs:
Johnny Gaudreau:
SF%: 46.22
GF%: 42.86
xGF%: 41.84
SCF%: 42.45
HDCF%: 37.50
Sean Monahan:
SF%: 44.07
GF%: 37.50
xGF%: 44.41
SCF%: 41.96
HDCF%: 41.67
How big does the sample size have to get?
Here they are in the 2018/2019+2019/2020 Playoffs:
Johnny Gaudreau:
SF%: 47.34
GF%: 45.45
xGF%: 42.30
SCF%: 45.55
HDCF%: 36.51
Sean Monahan:
SF%: 46.63
GF%: 45.45
xGF%: 45.26
SCF%: 45.08
HDCF%: 40.91
It's so...
