Interestingly, the team is creating 12.11 HDCF/60 and giving up 12.87 for 24.98 overall. That's the highest number in games against Tampa among Central teams. This has not been low-event hockey, as the goal numbers might otherwise indicate. Vasilevsky/McBackup have played great, but Mrazek/Reimer/Nedeljkovic have been right there.
