Around the NHL — Episode XLXVII

Dallas’ defensive issues are overstated. Heiskanen, Harley and Lindell are a sold top 3. When comparing to the Sens:

Healthy Heiskanen > Sanderson
Harley > Chabot
Lindell > Zub
Yes, for the first two, IDK about Lindell > Zub. I think Lindell is overrated defensively. Jensen is better than their fourth best dman as well. Kleven-Matinpalo is kinda a wash with their bottom pairing.

Offensively having a 40 goal, 100 point scorer in Robertson on your third line helps take some pressure off of the defense.
 
Bobrovsky is on his game tonight. Not only the saves but the stick play around the net has already broken up two nice chances.

The strategy of funneling everything back to the point against a team dead set on blocking every shot seems counterproductive to me. Leafs are generating way more quality when they counterpunch.
 
Good kill.

Panthers really do need a facilitator at the top of the umbrella. Plays dies every time the puck goes to Jones or Ekblad.
 
The good (or bad) news is that the winner gets a one fay break before playing Carolina, who have only played 10 games in the playoffs.

That might be the only thing Carolina has going for them. Their series’ against NJ and Washington were’t exactly very physical either.
