The only player notably off their career average from an offensive production perspective was Sean Monahan. Everyone else was right in around their average, and well within normal year to year fluctuation.
Defensively speaking, I think you can easily blame a lot on Geoff Ward’s structure/ability to get them to play that structure. Offensively though? Outside of Monahan things weren’t that off.
