Since the start of the 2013-14 season, his 122 games with two-or-more points are the fourth-most in the NHL and trails only Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby (152), Chicago's Patrick Kane (134) and Washington's Alex Ovechkin (125).

At American Airlines Center, he has points in four-straight games (5-2=7) and has inked the scoresheet in five of his last six contests (6-3=9), with four multi-point games over that span.
