If Demko was playing this is the exact kind of game I’d expect us to win as he dominates. Canes love throwing everything at the net, and it works against mid goalies, but against the best throwing a bunch of softies at them often helps them get in the zone early (Lu used to be a specialist at this).
Should try to get Brannstrom more minutes. He’s been good, and they need to see what he’s capable of over the next 10 or so games as they plan out what to do with the blue line. Would be interesting to get him some reps with Soucy or Myers on a couple shifts to see how he performs against higher level competition.
Can’t keep predicting Ws, so I’ll say they lose this one 4-3 and goaltending let’s them down a little bit.
