I don't want to worry anybody but our bottom 6 scoring rate extrapolates to be the lowest scoring bottom six in NHL history. The upside is there's no way this happens again next year.
|
Concerning is that they're not even generating much for chances. The shot rates for the top couple lines are generally decent (although Nugent-Hopkins is way behind his career averages. He's got just 8 shots in 6 games - he's usually above 2 shots per game - he has hit a couple goalposts though).
After that though, there's not much happening:
Nygard 9 shots
Khaira 6 shots
Chiasson 6 shots (3 GP)
Granlund 5 shots
Sheahan 5 shots (4 GP)
Archibald 4 shots (3 GP)
Jurco 2 shots (5 GP)
P. Russell 2 shots (3 GP)
Haas 1 shots (4 GP)
Cave 0 shots (2 GP)
Of those guys Nygard & Chiasson both have played with Nuge & Neal, and unsurprising, they have the best rates of anyone. Only Nygard has a goal. Jurco has a couple assists, Haas has one assist...everyone else? Zilch.
These guys have to find a way to generate SOMETHING. If your bottom two lines are only generating 4-5 shots a night, they're going to be completely ineffective most games. It's great that we're getting quality penalty killing here, but there needs to be something more than that, because the bottom half the lineup is on the ice for 20-25 minutes a game. Eventually that's going to catch up to us.

It’s weird. It looks like they’re controlling the play and cycling the puck down low, but the puck never works it’s way to the point or to shooting areas. Need to do something with that puck possession.

Kinda like last year unfortunately. And the longer this goes on, the more disheartened the bottom 6 will get, and the more the coach will lean on the top 6, wearing them down. Need to find a way to get something out of the bottom 6 ASAP. Moving some players around between the NHL/AHL probably needs to be considered soon.
