With less time and space, Lambert is doing much better playing a direct version of the pro game. He still goes east to west sometimes but he is shooting a lot more at this level then he did at the World Juniors or in europe.
He does look a lot like Ehlers in his playstyle and playing with a guy who is very direct in Guenther is really ideal for him. Basically they are playing off each other. Guenther will net drive and drop the puck and Lambert is shooting it or Lambert goes for his skates and Guenther finds the open ice and waits for a pass. Its nice to see the chemistry they have right now. I think McGroarty is a similar player to Guenther in he plays a very direct game and goes to the net to find open spaces so hopefully they develop in the future the same way
