He had a shooting percentage below ten last year. By far the worst of his career. Right now it’s sky high at 20. The Gods giveth and the taketh away.
I think the death of his father had a big impact on his play at the end of the 2022-2023 season and the beginning of the 2023-24 season. When my father died i went into a depression that lasted for a while.
Before his father died on februarey 10th 2023 he had 32 goals and 54 points in 52 games (pace of 50 goals and 85 points). He finished that 2022-23 season with 42 goals and 75 points in 72 games.
Last year he started the season with only 8 goals 28 points in his first 41 games (pace of 16 goals and 56 points). But then he finished the season with 23 goals and 37 points in his last 38 games (pace of 49 goals and 80 points).
So in the half a season before the death of his father he was pacing for 50 goals and 80 points. Then he want into a slump that lasted couple of months. Then in the half a season after that slump he was pacing for 50 goals and 80 points again.
