I thought it was a pretty sound game defensively playing with a lead for most of the game. There weren't too many situation where the Kings were able to get a lot of pressure. There were a few good chances obviously, and Hiller was really good, but at the same time, we had a few pretty good chances to build on the lead too. Outplayed for the most part yes, but I didn't feel that we turtled.
It's good to see that the team is handling playing long stretches with a lead quite effectively these last two games and getting away with the wins. Polar opposite to third period comebacks.
