Yup Nordstrom is just a warm body on the PK.
Really all the heavy lifting on his most frequent PK unit is done by Lindholm, Tanev, and Gio.
With Ryan back and available for the PK rotation there is no reason for Nordstrom to be in the lineup as a PK specialist.
But overall this is just Geoff Ward's strategy. Scoring goals and generating offence is stupid. Focus on defense and just have guys that have no skill but can grind it out and who know how to collapse in front of their own net.
