Stankoven started his postseason with six goals across the first five games, but he has cooled down since then, scoring just once in the second round and zero times so far this series. He simply hasn’t been as aggressive offensively lately, totaling just four shots on goal this series, but he is still generating high-danger chances. Stankoven ranks second on the team in high-danger chances for, and he ranks ninth in the NHL this postseason in both goals per 60 and expected goals per 60. The 23-year-old needs to be more aggressive in the shooting department, yes, but he still generated a 5v5 76.26% expected goal percentage in Game 3, which ranked fifth on the team. The line, comprised of Stankoven, Taylor Hall and Jackson Blake, has generated a postseason-high 10 goals thus far, and Stankoven has netted a goal in three of five road games this postseason.
It is risky business to back a Montreal player to score, given the club’s sheer lack of offensive production over the past two games. However, Slafkovsky seems like the best bet, considering he ranks first on the team in shots on goal and second in goals, behind only Alex Newhook. Slafkovsky scored twice in Game 1, and both of them came at even strength, which is a welcome development for him, considering his first four goals of the postseason came while on the man advantage. This postseason, the 22-year-old ranks fifth in total shots on goal (47) and second in high-danger chances (11). He has led Montreal in expected goal percentage in two of three games thus far and ranks 11th in the NHL in expected goals per 60.
