And better goaltending.
Last year finished with 93 points, this year on 84 point pace.
If they are over achieving this year, what does that say about last year? Maybe last year's system focused on man on man d zone and shot volume was actually gaining them points.
I do think that Lewis and Lucic were quite underappreciated.

It’s hard to play the way Darryl plays for extended periods of time. But it’s undeniably effective - the man was a HC for four teams and he won 190+ games with three of them.
The results this year don’t mean Huska is a bad coach - even with a Hall of Fame coach behind the bench, this is not a playoff roster without Gaudreau and Tkachuk.
