It's funny that a center that kills his line's offense is the team's first scorer at even strength.
Yes I'm aware of that stat. He's tied with Gallagher for the team lead. The best I can say is, Gallagher would have even more points if he were playing on another line with better offensive players and Plekanec less. If you watch Plekanec play, he's horrible offensively 5 on 5. Gallagher drives the play. A lot of plays die on Plekanec's stick.
And the rest of the team isn't good 5 on 5 either. Drouin sucks 5 on 5, and the Pacioretty Danault duo hasn't been nearly as effective without Radulov. So Plekanec is leader of a very sorry bunch. We have one of the worst offenses in the league, yet the 8th best powerplay.
