Is he playing 4th line center? Little confused at his stats here, he is third on the team/ ES goals, first on ES FO% with 58.4%
And what´s up with "Tommy" lol

Thanks. He seems to do it pretty good. With that strong FO numbers, may be worth a shot on the #2 PPHe's been playing on the 3rd line with Bennett and Barkov injured
The only situation he seems uncomfortable in is when he has too much time and room to think - see Bedard's goal. When the action to perform is clear he executes on the spot which is exactly what you want from 3rd and 4th linersStenlund has quietly been one of the best additions to this team. He uses his size really well in the corners and has surprisingly soft hands for a "rugged bottom-6" type player. I don't expect him to keep up his 20 goal pace (although he wouldn't be the first guy to "find himself" in this locker room) but he's been doing more than asked of him and excelling at each challenge.
He's 3rd on the team in Shorthanded ice-time per-game among forwards and he wins over 55% of his faceoffs. He is exactly the type of player I wanted Zito to this off-season.
Tommy is quickly becoming one of my favorite Panthers.
I’ll have to go back and look at it but was there an option for him to pass? Seemed he was by himself back there, was everyone changing? I could be remembering it wrong however.The only situation he seems uncomfortable in is when he has too much time and room to think - see Bedard's goal.

I would suggest watching the games. He has been good to great in every role given.How is his playoff performance? I saw he's the third line center now.
Does the increased TOI affect his play positively/negatively?
Third line now because Lundell moved up to take Bennett’s spot. He also played up the lineup earlier this season due to injuries. He takes a lot of weight off of Barkov with his solid PK work. The 4th line has been very good with him centering it.How is his playoff performance? I saw he's the third line center now.
