He's not.
He had two rough games to start the season and has been damn solid five on five since.
I agree though ... no finish.
You play Nordstrom for PK and to avoid the fourth line getting filled in
(all this said with a knowledge that the last 5 game stretch is still only five games).
But Nordstrom on PK is top five in the league for guys with any kind of minutes in prevention.
