Good road game against a really strong team. Final score isn’t really indicative of the play overall, but indicative of the talent disparity. Perfect result. Played well, lost in regulation.

We started strong, but just completely outclassed after that.

Even with our full healthy roster, we'd be a heavy underdog against the Canes. 2nd best team in the league by points percentage. Predicable outcome.

Can't feel too bad about going 1-1 against them on the year.

There are only 3 forwards with a +1 or better on the team.

Theres also only only forward on the team pacing to have over 50 points.

This doesn't reflect the value of the roster spot where the injury occurred. The Blues have high number of injury days, and they're at our top pairing and top center, among others. There's bound to be a negative impact.
