This game is hopefully a wake up all to most of the stars they can't keep coasting on the coattails of a stellar third line. Blueger, Joshua and Garland have basically kept us alive while Miller, Boeser, Petey, Kuz and Mikheyov have all fallen asleep.
Granted, Petey actually played alright tonight, and Kuz had some solid chances. I'm much more concerned about Miller and Boeser who have been AWOL lately. I also really like Hoglander but I'm a little worried about him in our top six come the playoffs. As an option? Absolutely. But I don't quite think he's ready for the grind heavy atmosphere of playoff hockey.
With Soucy likely drawing in against Ottawa, I sincerely hope this is the last night we see Myers and Zadorov together. It's just way too inconsistent a pairing.
