    Default Malkin and SOG - Cause for Concern?

    Malkin's been good about averaging 3 shots per game or more for his career, until this year. It's still early, just 8 games in, but Malkin's shot rate is almost half that of past years. Has anyone noticed any changes in his style this year? More deferential, maybe? I'm a smidge concerned that he might be turning down the volume on his shooting.

    No concerns, he's putting up great numbers and Pitty is rolling. When he needs to he will start firing the biscuit. He use to be a huge volume shooter but these days I wouldn't expect much more then the lows 200's.

    If it was a career 2nd line player with a sharp decline in shot volume I would be concerned. Malkin, not so much.

    not when he's got 3g 12a in 8gp as well. Dude's just dishing it out right now - that's 153.75pt pace. That could explode to a 180pt pace when his SOG return to career norms
