Not to hate on McDrai, but I've found their defensive effort has been poor since game 1 this year. Not sure what to really make of it. Maybe they just knew how the year was gonna go again and have decided that D zone time is energy saving time. If we do manage to improve the depth over the next 2 years, hopefully that changes. Drai has been better than McDavid in our end. McDavid, I have been noticing him coasting all year in our zone. Surprised Matheson hasn't been talking about it yet :)

He was +9 in October - but he's been -7 since. If they're able to tilt the ice, then I don't really care if they're not completely responsible - but when they're getting outscored at 5v5, it's a concern. To my eyes, they've been worse as the season's gone on, and I think the time on ice, as well as the long shift length both contribute to that. I don't mind them playing the full 2 minutes on the PP, but it would be good to see the coaching compensate for that in other ways, and instead you often see shifts that go on one or two rushes longer than you expect.

They were getting the saves in October. Goalies have needed to be really good with the 1st line out this year, and that stopped happening in Nov for one goalie, and now both in Dec. I think they have been at or below 50% corsi since the start of the season. They still created more quality than they give up on average of course.
Don't disagree that they may be slowing down a bit, and Drai specifically may be noticeably run down, or maybe even fighting through some kind of injury now. Not sure he's been the same since he took that head shot (think he slid/fell into a guys elbow) a week or 2 ago. But I do think there was a notable shift in defensive effort from game 1 this year.
