Here is my theory why there is a disconnect between the stats and the people who watched the game and thinking Bahl and Parekh played well.
Seattle did not dress their best lineup. The one player/line that stands out from their lineup last night is Catton or Catton, Tolvanen and Marchment line.
Bahl and Parekh played the most minutes against Catton, they played very well against Catton and he is the guy that people would say is the biggest threat from last night's line up to score against the Flames.
Bahl and Parekh struggled more against the no names dressed last night
If you watch the game and you are out against some no name plug or AHL plug for a scoring chance against, it probably gets disregarded more than if a star player gets open. The plug likely did nothing with the chance.
