Wasn't his goal a PPG? That means he was a 0 in 5vs5, plus scored a goal on special teams.

He was incredibly weak on the first goal against.
This game was a prime example of why he has trouble being a regular, good for stretches of the game and bad in others.

If he played a "mistake-free" game, he would be a 2nd pairing guy soaking up 20 minutes a game. Come on, curb the expectations. He definitely played the kind of game you want out of your #5.. messy, but with enough positives to not be a liability. Better depth wouldn't hurt, of course. Especially if Wotherspoon took Engelland's spot allowing Diaz to be the secondary puck handler on his pairing. That would also push Diaz down to #6 as Wotherspoon has an obvious size advantage.
