KK is having an extremely difficult series against the Boston Bruins. KK has 0 points in four games. He has 3 shots on goal and is averaging 12:09 per game.
In fact, in the last playoff game, Kotkaniemi was -2 with 9:53 of playing time. That's the low of the low.
At $6.1M and a contract extension in hand, we expect more from him with the Hurricanes.
