On the road you don't get last change so the other coach can match lines better. Gaudreau faces tougher competition on the road so he'll have less time to make plays and get shots off. It's a problem every player and team faces. Some handle it better than others. As a team we handled it poorly. My guess is we need to be physically stronger to make space or have other scoring lines so they can't concentrate on our #1 line. A new coach may help as well.
