Gaudreau made such a smart play in OT causing that 2 on 0 and Backlund played it perfectly.
I actually would love to see Gaudreau play with Backlund as he's one of a few guys who can match his speed. We've seen them have chemistry before in 3 on 3 and I think it can carry over for longer stretches.
Elliott played solid.
Wideman was garbage.
Brodie was solid, Gio had an ok game nothing spectacular and a few bone headed passes. Hamilton was the best player on the ice for both teams.
A good game before the break and I hope this is the start of a streak.
