What's interesting is he's getting points by using his playmaking, which is actually nice to see because it is indictative of his overall hockey talent, he's more than just a shooter. Cole is the kind of guy that might not score the most goals, but he scores big goals. However, I think he's forcing his shots and he's getting all tangled up in the defenders trying to use them for screens. It honestly reminds me of Ovechkin when he would be in a slump (or playing us in the playoffs
)
Slafkovsky is also starting to find him consistently and they are starting to build a bit of chemistry. If we can get that kind of traction, we can move them back with Suzuki and the two will finally have a clear cut 3rd linemate to dig and make space. RHP wasn't cutting it, and that's why the two are split currently.
