We needed that. Friday is a massive game, need the win to keep Dallas well in the rear view mirror.
I liked Schenn's game, gritty and made the correct and simple plays. A vet that knows his game and what he's capable of.
Fleury was a bit all over the map. Think his game has fallen off a bit after a good start with us. My guess is Stanley is in next game.
I like the play of the rest of the d core tonight as well.
Top line wasn't super noticeable tonight. I thought KC stunk tonight and compounded things by constantly over extending shifts and making sloppy plays.
Second line had a good game. Cole really has gotten his game going the second half. True to junior he gets better the longer the season goes. Namestnikov and Ehlers also really strong.
I'm really digging that fourth line, they just hound and turn over pucks. They also have enough skill to bang some goals in. I forgot what it's like to have an effective shot disturber in Tanev. I've liked what he's brought. So far so good for Barron in the middle.
Third line with typical strong third line game.
It looked like the Rangers really pre-scouted our PP. On the second unit they had a player dropped on Cole and on Pionk knowing everything goes through them. Our top unit also couldn't get anything going until Perfettinwent in for Ehlers and it opened up a different play.
