First game with Lucic, 3 points against SJS



Since then, 10 points in 14 games.



So yeah, it is more than close. Trying to suggest that he has been better with Lucic than he was for the 12 games prior to Lucic is just not accurate.
I would hope that whole people are enjoying the production from Lucic they see that he isn't the answer on that line long term. That lines underlying numbers are not good, sustained by a fairly high shooting percentage.

They need to find an answer for a scoring threat to play on the wing, whether that's from outside the org via trade or trying an AHL scoring winger and seeing if anything shakes out.
