Yes, he was there, but given what has happened to that team over the past couple of years, "surviving" is not really the word for it.

Despite his lower production in those playoffs, he was still 3rd in TOI among forwards at 19:52 - 13 seconds more than Pavelski, and then a pretty big drop to Meier at 17:06. Reg season he was 4th in TOI
