"I think Doug is going through what a first-year player would go through," coach Claude Julien said before Tuesday's game. "He was outstanding at the beginning and he's certainly not poor now. But to expect this guy to be outstanding the whole season is not being realistic. I know he set the bar pretty high with his early play, but he's certainly not a poor player for us. The points may not be coming as much as they did at the beginning, but he's still a pretty poised player."
