Those heatmaps are for all situations. So wouldn't the difference be due to his role on the PP as you suggested?

That's part of it, but his shot, scoring chance and expected goal rates are also up significantly at 5-on-5.

Posts like this are generational. Severely underrated.

..sorry, couldn’t help it. Thanks for the analysis OP, cool to see how strategies change for one of the headier players in the game.

Glad you think so. Hopefully, this footage gives people a better sense of how Stone is playing this year.

I appreciate it. Stone has long been one of my favorite forwards (I'm a sucker for two-way players), so it's been interesting to see his offensive game evolve.

With that said, I wonder if they should reunite Stephenson-Eichel-Stone now that Jack is healthy. I understand the desire to balance out the offense, but that line's production and underlying numbers were incredible.

What do you think?
