Most of our issue is strictly from our defensive zone coverage, which I think is more of a system issue.

Yeah the underlying issue is defensive zone coverage as no defensemen got caught in the rush last night as there were numerous times the goaltenders were left alone to fend for themselves with nearly everyone back. The fact the PK is the worst in the league kind of reinforces that the defensemen really have issues letting players get behind them and into open scoring chances.
