I saw that as well. 6th in ice time, but 2 powerplay assists and he was on the ice in the final minute defending when Minnesota had the 6 on 4. He actually made a great play to clear the puck to seal the game with about 15 seconds left.

So some indicators have him as a #6 tonight, others have him as an offensive key, others have him as Mr. Reliable in crunch time..... so all over the map and giving ammo to his detractors and supporters ..... essentially a standard Kris Russell game.
