Best performance since we demolished the NY teams before the AS break. Totally dominated the game, should have had 5 or 6 goals. All 4 lines and all 3 defensive pairings were strong. Best our transitions have looked in a month.
- Pettersson has started playing with done swagger again. Looked dangerous all night, like a star player should. Strong game again for Hoglander as well.
- Mikheyev had his best game of the season. More of that, please. Looked like a guy about to kick a slump. Skated well, much more purpose in his decisions with the puck.
- Lindholm was better and actually got a primary point. Not earth-shattering but his compete level was obviously up.
- why on earth wasn’t Podkolzin playing like this in Abbotsford? You’re big and strong, skate in straight lines and finish your checks. Go to hard areas. Keep it simple. If he does this he can stay up.
- first point for PDG since mid-November. 26 games. Needed that. Not guaranteed to still have a roster spot tomorrow.
- Soucy is so good. What a steal of a contract. Tanev-esque, just always calm and in the right place.
- Juulsen had his best game in a while.
- Demko rock solid. Didn’t even give a whiff of vulnerability.
Loved the improved discipline tonight. Only penalty was very iffy.
