Purcell hasn't scored since Nov. 14 and only had two goals in the month of November.

EDGE Analysis

Purcell did have seven assists in November but on a team dealing with injuries (Connor McDavid, Nail Yakupov) this just isn't enough. Purcell was also moved off the top line and will now play on the second line with the also struggling Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Liro Parkarinen.
