Small samples can make things look important without context.For sure context is important. I wondered too if that stretch of 16 games at the end of the season where they were at 93.9% without him was due to the guys on the PK being more comfortable overall, where in November as you alluded to, perhaps they still needed some time to mesh.
That November run without Forbort was also without McAvoy for a few games at the start and only had two real clonkers - a special teams fest against the Canucks and a game against friggin' Florida.
Trying to derive much meaning out of a couple handfuls of games probably won't get you much.
