There are many reasons it's not working now I suspect, but this is his game. It didn't work so well against Anaheim in 2017 either.

He also used to cut through the centre, stick-handling between players (I remember an ATL post complaining about their D letting him tiptoe through the tulips), or fake the hook and drive around deeper, for a better back pass when he was followed. His button hook is a lot shallower as well, now. And of course, he used to do a lot behind the net.
