Yes, he was excellent. I feel like I've read more than once recently that his defensive play improves away from Wheeler, perhaps because his role and routes change? Anyway, he was really committed last night, closer to the player I remember watching way back in his college days. Very strong game from him.
Think most has been covered already -- did notice that the Ducks PK set up a bit like the Jets -- allowing shots from the perimeter and not much from close in, although they worked hard to clear when they could.
PLD showed some real creativity, as in the pass out front to Wheeler alone in the left slot. I think he is a nice match with Ehlers -- just need to shift Copp off that line maybe. Think the other lines are likely to gel more once 55 returns and they can build up some playing time together. Also think Ves may be a better fit with the Lowry line -- they were good together earlier.
Anyway, good to see hockey back. Onward and hopefully upward!
