Not sure I follow.
It still see HDCA mirroring SCA in games 36-40. They drop below both the top ten line in both cases.
In those 5 games the bulk of the damage was done in the 3-2 win over the Kraken where they gave up 15 five on five (and generated 14). The rest of the set had single digits against.
In the six games since Xmas the Zadorov/Stone pairing is at 13.64 HDCA/60, the other two pairings are closer to 10.0 and well below the average team per 60 of 11.8
xGA60 for the third pair was 3.16 in the six games, other two pairings closer to 2.0
