I don't think it's that simple. It's likely the coaches told them in the intermission to play responsibly in the 3rd period and not take risks. Unfortunately when players try to curtail things the result is often that they slow things down and stop skating. It's a fine line in this league and if you aren't going 100% all out in the transition game you are going to look slow.
