There's no evidence to suggest that increased TOI dilutes point and goal rates. At least none that I have seen.
Also, given Backstrom's absence and Eller and Dowd's sporadic absences it seems like Laviolette didn't really have much of a choice but to play Kuznetsov more this season. His hand was forced, and as I mentioned I am quite interested to see what happens with Kuznetsov's TOI once all of the centers are healthy.
If you're playing in more defensive situations for 2-3 more minutes per night it's not going to affect your scoring rates?
