It wasn't pretty but the boys found a way to gut one out. A couple of key goals from our big boys, strong D, and great netminding is the usual recipe for two points. But if you add in, rolling four lines without hesitation and having total confidence in their improved gameplay, that could be a recipe for a winning streak.
Neither Panarin or Strome played more than 15 minutes tonight. Even if they weren't nursing sore bodies, rolling 4 lines to apply pressure and be aggressive is critical. And our 3rd and 4th lines have certainly answered that call of late. While they might not put up the points like our top lines, we lose nothing defensively by throwing them out there. And the more time they spend in the offensive zone, keeping the opposition hemmed in,.. the less likely they get scored upon.
If we keep rolling 4 lines, our chances of going on a run just increase dramatically.
Gone are the days AV and Torts used to shorten the bench when the game was on the line.
