Drive to the Net: Goal-scorers for $100, Alex

Wait, 19 goals?

This guy had 19 goals?

That's the part, quite candidly, that's made zero sense for me upon studying Alex Galchenyuk over the past week. He had 19 goals in 72 games in 2018-19 with the Coyotes. He had 19 goals the previous season with the Canadiens. And it's not easy to explain. It's not that he lacks pedigree, having been picked No. 3 overall in the 2012 NHL Draft right here in Pittsburgh. It's not that he lacks hands, having popped 30 for Montreal and owning a career shooting percentage of 12.
