PP counts when looking at goals, sure, but not a goal differential stat comparing to guys who are on the PK.
He is 15th on the team 5on5 expected goal differential, minimum ice time of 50 minutes. Full stop.

Yes, I was looking at 60 minutes, not 5-5, so you are right about where he strands on that stat. But the actual number says whether he is getting "caved in" or not. The Flames generally are pretty close to 0.0 as a team and as individuals, except for two guys. If he was dead last on the team, but everyone on the team has a positive differential do you describe him as getting "caved in"?
