1st Period:
-Reinhart-Granlund-Poirier and Baertschi-Knight-Olsen were the two best lines on the ice that period
-Kulak is playing on a pair with Billins and looks very comfortable out there. He's further along than I realized or would have guessed
-Ortio looks good, as does Mrazek
-Sven was the best individual player out there. Fought for the rebound that led to the first goal and picked a pass out of the air on the forecheck to make something out of nothing.
-Blair Jones is playing a very physical game. You can see why he gets looks in the NHL. The physical tools are there.
The Heat look like the better team of the two in that period. Hopefully they keep it up!
