Wotherspoon looked great again. Good edge work, some nice passes in tight. Showed good instincts to shoot the puck. Has a nice frame. He looks a lot more NHL ready this time. Nakladal shows good compete. He seems more at home in the offensive zone, he may actually be good power play option going forward.
Love that Bennett is at centre, looks like Hartley is starting to really trust him. Now we gotta give our awesome centre depth some wingers to work with.

When he's on, Ortio is the hybrid of Ramo and Hiller that a lot of people looked for last year. Not as wild as Ramo, but more athletic and a bit less butterfly dependant than Hiller. I still think his glove hand is a bit odd (but that glove looked huge to me tonight). I think he lacked confidence at the start of the year. He seems like a kid that needs to work hard to maintain his game.
He's got a really good game under his belt, so let's see what comes of it.
