From what I remember his line was mostly unlucky in the offensive zone. It's been a while but that line seemed to get a lot of the defensive assignments.
I think it is somewhat similar to how we view Backlund in the playoffs. Generating offense gets a bit harder, and the defensive assignments get more difficult. Like in the Colorado series his line held his own, but we all remember him being bad because of not having an answer to MacKinnon.
The bottom line, we got a good player, and I don't expect him to disappear in the playoffs.
