Nice to see them get back on the horse with a strong two games. The team looks more mentally resilient to me this year. In past years when we slumped we slumped hard, not the case this year.
Helle wasn't too busy but made the saves he needed to. I'm happy it seems that we can get him the rest he needs heading into the playoffs.
On defense I feel that JoMo is starting to find is mojo again. He's getting back to being a force both ways. DeMelo has also solidified his play.
Snerg with a solid workman like game. I thought Pionk was a bit hit and miss. Worked hard and jumped in smartly but I'd like to see him manage the puck better breaking out.
Stanley outside his pizza and penalty played a good physical game. Miller wasn't noticeable, my guess is Schenn is in for him next game.
Top line can turn it on when they want to. Thought they were a non factor through the first half and then they just decided to force their will on the Devils. Vilardi is really doing a lot of little things off the puck and on the boards well for that line while the other two have more space to create.
Happy the second line scored, they've been playing well the last few games and deserved a goal. Namestnikov with a gutsy effort, wish he scored on his great look as he could use a goal. Glad Perfetti scored and even happier with how he scored. It's the type of goal you are going to have to score in the playoffs. Ehlers has gotten his decision making with the puck back on track.
Third line is also back scoring after a lengthy slump which is good to see. Lowrybmakes a huge difference in the middle of that line.
Glad to see Tanev fit right in. That line forechecked well and was good in nz. They do need to sort some stuff out in their end as they gave up a lot but imo that will come with more reps.
