That’s not necessarily true.
You’re assuming that the line he’s checking against, hypothetically their offensive, has a center with their highest faceoff ability which is often not the case.
while not ALWAYS the case, especially at even strength as not every 1or 2C is elite at faceoffs, on PP it could be a different story.
Now I have no stats to back this up apart from just logic based off my head so take it as you will, but usually when a team has a pp at least one of the 5 guys is pretty good on the faceoff, usually two. Most teams have their top two centers, and two best wingers with a dman out there. Take us, we have Tavares who is elite at faceoffs and Matthews who is also very very good at them, most teams have at least 1 good faceoff taker and alot of the time it is going to be used on the pp faceoff
Kampf being apart of the first unit on the pk means he is alway going against the best or second best faceoff taker on that team.
But now thinking about it, those are probably a minority of his faceoffs taken so now I think I confused myself lool
