Not a good period, but not awful either.
Only one bad shift defensively from the 4th line and 3rd pair. Mostly good in their own zone.
But just weak offensively. Lots of pucks in deep, but no pursuit. The only dangerous chance they had, Brodie missed the net. They're going to have to get more aggressive in the offensive zone when the puck is down low. Get creative. Move to an area of the ice they aren't expecting. Do a power move off the wall if you have to.
At any rate, keep shooting on Lehtonen every chance you can get. He looks pretty bad on the few saves he had to make. Shoot on net every time and eventually you'll get a lucky one.
Also...go to the front of the net. Too many guys aren't willing to battle for a goal right now, hoping for a pretty play instead. Until that's coming easier, you gotta get some dirty goals. Drive the net. Make life hard for Lehtonen. You'll get your goals.
