Your eye isn’t lying; Johnny Gaudreau is struggling by his standards

The relative struggles of Johnny Gaudreau is one of the biggest stories one quarter of the way through Calgary’s 2019-2020 season. The team’s most dangerous offensive player has looked off to start the season, and it’s not just your eyes. Across the board, Gaudreau’s numbers are down, which is concerning knowing how last year’s postseason went.

If you look at Johnny’s numbers thus far, they don’t strike you as horrible. In fact, he’s only a few points behind his 99-point pace through 20 games from one year ago.

Take into account, though, that Gaudreau recorded six of his points in the first three games of this season; that leaves him with 11 over the last 17.
