He is having a hell of a season playing in a good system. But he is not as dominant as the stats suggests. Tony Mårtensson would be a good comparison.

Scoring is up a little bit but I think mostly it's about him and his linemates doing extremely well, at the same time as they have been healthy and confident all year, at the same time as the power play has been clicking extremely well, at the same time as they are playing for a team that can put 100% of their focus on making that line as succesful as possible, at the same time as they are playing on a team that is very dependant on that line so they get all the ice time and opportunities (for good reason). So they are doing extremely well in combination with all the other things that makes it a once every other decade kind of season.

Several SHL teams do seem to have a more passive zone defense this season, which really helps players who can be a bit aggressive in the offensive end and have skill.

35 goals. Kinda absurd. Leads the points race with 5 points. Second best goalscorers have 23 goals.
