If - and only if - there is a repeat of the first game, we're in trouble.
Otherwise, it was a game where they were still high from beating Van, and had some bad bounces (most of which ended up in their net). A goal from Jooris, a timely Hiller save and the game may have been very different.
Can only hope that things go better for us at the start of Game 2.
Defence needs to move the puck more rapidly up-ice and not get trapped back along the boards behind our net, and the forwards need to put the puck on the net every chance they get, preferably low, and look for a quick chip behind Andersen. Stay in his grill.
