They have played four times in the last month:
Hischier: 2-2-4 (7 shots) 51.6% CF
Patrick: 0-0-5 (6 shots) 62.5% CF
Here's the difference- Hischier is largely playing against one of the top lines in hockey and one of the best top pairs. Patrick is playing against middle six players on a team decimated by injuries. I don't know how you can say the gap is close based on those games.
I mean, they have both played ~20 games since New Year... and their CF% is virtually identical while Patrick has started 20% less in the OZ.
