“Meier was at a completely different level when skating on a line with No. 63 this season. In terms of on-ice numbers, Meier posted a 53.73 CF% and +3 goal differential in 225 minutes opposite side of Bratt. Meier helped the Devils control only 49.49% of the shot share without Bratt while being outscored by 18 goals(!) over 765 minutes. That’s a pretty drastic difference.” [Infernal Access ($)]
