We're 5-3-1 in that time, with the regulation loss vs Chicago maybe being our best game. That's 66% of our games in that stretch being very good IMO. Without Johnny Gaudreau.
Disappointing collapses vs BUF and PHI make up the other 2, and tonight was a good effort in the last half to tie it up on the final game of a grueling road trip.
We've also seen a huge step forward by Chad Johnson. Elliott has also been much better, but we know he's not getting the run support still. We've only scored 8 goals in Elliott's past 5 games.
Our penalty kill has also been pretty great lately. 29/34 or 85% success rate in our past 10 games, with 3 of those goals against coming in that BUF game alone.

BTW -- you just spelled out brilliantly exactly how me of two hours ago was completely and utterly wrong. Thank you for alleviating some of my concerns.
Great post.
