Pretty amazing to see how he's ratcheted up across the season. He seems invigorated by the playoff chase and with each goal he scores I'm more certain he's going to be able to do it.

Relatively small sample but since Christmas he's scoring at roughly a forty goal pace. The first half of the season he was likely carrying an injury, he had like....5 goals scrubbed out and his shooting % was at an unsustainably bad level.
I think he'll pop another 3-4 this season, and then come back hot next year. His days of 50 goals are over, but he's still got that shot, and I think the teams done a decent job of ridding itself of some dead weight, which might allow for them to spend a bit in the summer to get him someone to feed pucks on the PP.
