Mark Streit & Nick Schultz

Mark Streit – C+

Both Mark Streit and Nick Schultz are struggling. Their pair is lagging way behind the other pairs in terms of Corsi, which is a big concern. In terms of production, his 5v5 points rate is about the same as last year, but his Corsi numbers are the worst of his career. Furthermore, where he had 26 power play assists last year, this year he has 3. He may not get a chance to bring that number back up as it seems Ghost has stolen that job from him. Right now Streit is a power play specialist without a role on the top power play unit.

Nick Schultz – D

Schultz has been a fixture in the lineup, but he doesn’t have much to show for it. He’s never been a point producer, and his Corsi numbers are the worst on the team. This pair needs to pick it up or the Flyers need to find a new duo.
