Lucic got up and went straight after Couture, and later received a match penalty. “That’s a huge thing that’s got to go the right way for them”. The past two campaigns have marked an offensive surge for Pavelski, as he tallied a career-best 41 goals in 2013-14, and followed that up with 37 markers last season.
