Toffoli specifically is 2nd on the team in expected goals in the series, if he wasn't getting chances he'd be an issue, but he is.

Tkachuk ... beginning to wonder if his hand is a problem.
It's a big problem when a player that got over 100 points in the regular season vanishes in the playoffs. If he's hurt so be it but there's just so much pressure on Johnny now because he's having to carry more of the burden offensively without guys like Tkachuk and Toffoli chipping in.
