Yeah nothing to do with playing with better linemates...
1 linemate difference, and Byron who he is starting to click with has been his linemate almost the whole time. The difference is getting Byron to the wing instead of at centre

Hartley giving Sven tough love. Everybody demands Sven get more I've time, doesn't happen. Sven starts playing with more fire, gets rewarded and has 3 points in two games.

Or

Baertschi recovers from the flu, no longer has boat anchor Setoguchi on his line and is no longer centered by Paul Byron (who's better on wing than centre), but rather Jooris.

Even when Baertschi plays well he doesn't get more than 10-11 minutes of ice time.

Yes, Jooris has been great at Center. Sven has been making some solid passes but I attribute his success/production to the outstanding play of his linemates. Hopefully the huge boost to his confidence will help him find more success though.

Also yeah as Calculon pointed out, he has also recently recovered from the flu.

Yup. Had 2 apples and still sat out the third last game.

Personally I'm 100% with Rajan here. He's always played with Byron, mind you as his center at first. But Jooris is in, Seto is out. I'm happy Sven is producing, but knowing that he can't just be good to get minutes, he knows he has to be very good to play more and that's a good thing. He's not your average prospect, I'm glad he's being pushed hard to get the most out of him. I trust Hartley, he knows what he's doing.

Either way, Go Sven Go, Go Flames and Go Chiclets!

Well let's say you put Byron back at Center, do you think any of those scoring plays happen with Seto on that wing instead?
