Third game in three nights so it took the team half the game to really get the legs moving:
Perfetti really grew into the game and was really dangerous the back half of the game. He scored a nice tip goal (AHL hasn't credited him yet but it was pretty apparent he scored it given his celebration and the fact everyone converged on him to celebrate on the ice). He also made a beauty backhand saucer pass to set up Mallot. Once again the small things were on display as well. Pretty good start with 6 points in 7 games and 4 of those coming at 5 on 5.
Heinola: I thought he was medicore at best through two periods and was playing far too passively like he was in TC. However once the third period came he upped his assertiveness with the puck and looked like a different player. Like Morrissey Heinola is at his best when he's being aggressive. He made a number of good plays and got a number of good shots off. He was very good at getting his shot through again and it lead to two deflection goals.
Gus: Played a solid all around physical game but wasn't that noticeable offensively. He is sort of like Copp where his offense is more through positional play and smarts then it is talent.
Ves: Was ok, made things happen with the puck, had a couple of good looks and forechecked well. He is likely back up tomorrow if Helle is back.
Chisholm: Not his best effort, got walked bad on their 4th goal and was spraying breakouts all over the place all night.
Gawanke: Similar to Chisholm, he wasn't moving the puck well and his defensive zone play was so/so.
Kovacevik had a typical game, physical and solid defensive play. He was ok with his puck movement and will likely get a call up at some point.
