He's on the primary defensive line for one thing. But he seems to have pretty bad luck as well. He got a couple minuses from Coleman flubs the other night against NJ - he had nothing to do with the plays going sideways. He got another that same game on a line change.
But most of his minuses were before he went to the Backlund line. He hasn't really had a string of minuses since the big losing streak. Watch him now - he's made some very nice defensive plays. Broke up both Makar and Mackinnon a few times last night.
