Raise your hand if you had Casey Cizikas down for 20 goals last year. Okay, now put it down because you’re lying. Nobody thought the New York Islanders had a 20 goal scorer on their fourth line.
Cizikas, whose previous career-high in goals was nine, set the world on fire and easily became the best fourth line center in the sport.
Where did this sudden surge of goals come from? Well, according to Cizikas reuniting with Matt Martin and Cal Clutterbuck played a major factor in his career-year.
Being reunited with Marty and Cal was just that comfort level.
