3/4 of the goals were finding spots in front of the net, for tips which he's clearly good at, or sliding to the side of the net and getting "lost" to defenders, for tap ins.
Helps playing with Pettersen who can create space in the zone to get initial shots through, but nice to see someone with that in tight space skill, who isnt afraid to stick around the scoring areas. Flames just have to do the same, but that's easier said then done as their game is built in speed more then zone possession, so that may be a problem.
My guess it Tocchet's offensive zone style changed this also to more of a speed style, and no longer is him just making his way to the front of the net, enough.
