The big difference for Schmaltz is that he's shooting a little more, and went to a team with a functional power play. All of his goals have come on the PP, including the one tonight. And it's not a massive increase in shots. He was at about 1.5 here over his last 100 games, and had 13 in 6 games for Arizona coming into tonight. He's probably not going to shoot 25% for the year.
5on5 he's been getting absolutely killed though. His shot share is only 44% and high danger and overall scoring chance %s are at 36.11 and 38.27, respectively. All with 78% offensive zone starts. I still think he's just too much of a defensive liability at center, especially with Keller and Galchenyuk as his wingers. The fly-bys are one thing but he just has no idea where to be without the puck in his own zone.
