Watched it on DVR. Stalock still stinks. This is pretty much the ceiling of a good game for him, post-2014. Ryan should be in next game.
My question is, when does it become time to start giving Dell back to back starts? Obviously not in the case of games on back to back days, but Jones' numbers are not great, and he has been poor in a lot of games. Dell has been a lot better this year and I think it's time we start to give him a bigger leash.
I don't think Jones could do much on any of the goals against Carolina, maybe the third goal allowed? He wasn't very good tonight. He threw himself way out of position on that second goal and left the net wide open for a wraparound, and that third goal should have been stopped. Come on man, that's a clean wraparound goal! That's not a good goal at all.
Still am a little skeptical that Dell would post these .930 numbers while playing as a starter/1b goalie, but I wouldn't mind giving him a chance to play more. Jones has had almost a handful of rough games lately. Has he allowed fewer than 4 goals in a game since he came back from the injury? I don't think he has. He was playing great hockey up to that point, the best player on the team through October and November. He's only been able to stop beachballs lately.
