We looked like a mediocre team missing a top 6 forward and their best defenseman. Injuries really hurt us especially losing one of our more skilled forwards in Bennett when we're already short a top 6 forward after dealing Hudler. 1 scoring line, 1 checking line and 2 energy lines tonight, not a recipe for offence. Being down our best puck mover on the backend didn't help our offence, he jumps up a lot too.

Agostino didn't look out of place. Seems to be in the right position and make good hockey plays. Average skater and average size but I still liked his game. Jokipakka was impressive again, good skater, moves the puck well, big, strong, long reach, reliable defensively. Didn't like Orts on the 3rd goal, slid way out of net while giving up the rebound into the slot but that's been his only real bad moment in the past bunch of games, overall I'm impressed with him. Liked Ferland this game outside of the penalty.

It was a big 4 pointer in the reverse standings so I guess we've got that silver lining to the loss. Hopefully Brodes and Bennett are back soon.
