Yeah, but Detroit fw don’t really do defence and team defence overall is suspect at best

He scores those and would be no talk about a slump. Eventually some of those go in. Sometimes scorers just get in a funk and the good thing is it appears he is not getting totally in a funk with it and still happy to contribute however he can even if pucks are not going in. He will be fine.

He seems to get plenty of scoring chances but it’s always a missed net or a goal post.

Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades.

Cat has to find a way to start scoring goals again because he’s being paid too much money to be a secondary assist player.

They eventually adapt and regain most or all of their scoring touch. It may be the same with DeBrincat.

Is DeBrincat getting the same numbers of shots in recent games as he did early on ? Most likely not. The team generates an average of x shots per game. Kane’s addition means Kane now gets some of those shots. Raymond improved play gets him more bites at the apple.

Meanwhile Wing’s shots on goal per game remains about the same unless they change away from their more defensive style of play. So lack of opportunities may also factor in to the DeBrincat reduced scoring. As he says, overall he’s been happy with his game which I take to mean he feels he’s contributing if not scoring. There may be no real problem here.
