If this is indicative of Stewart's game then he's pretty much who Wild fans said he is: ok in transition but useless in his own zone and incapable of playing the cycle game in the offensive zone.
Thought Jankowski looked pretty good with and without Bennett. PP looked decent enough - if that Hamilton crossbar goes in it's a totally different game.
IMO at this point we just have to accept we're not getting 3 lines of scoring and run Gaudreau-Monahan-Bennett Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik at least until Ferland comes back. We can't afford to have our top line struggling like they were today.

Yeah, he looked pretty much as expected, that's not good.
