He’s 9th among forwards in ES TOI (Only Czarnik, Dube, Janko, Hathaway average less)

3rd in TOI among PKers - and has the lowest GA per minute of any of our PKers.

8th most TOI per game on the PP among forwards at 1:21 per game

Id like more production from him but I have no issue with his usage. I’d say he’s being used like a 3rd line center, RH faceoff specialist IMO.

Also don’t get the complaints of him being on the ice during the 6-4 with under two minutes left. The first group was off and he was on the ice to win that RH face off and he did cleanly and a couple of chances came from it.

Not like he’s had great line mates and his 56% Corsi For is pretty good. His on-ice shooting percentage is 5.7% which is way below the 7.4% from his two seasons in Carolina. If that turns around that’s a couple more goals in the net with him on the ice and I think people would be less concerned.
