As others have said, last night pretty much came down to goaltending.
Jake Allen was very good while Mike Smith belongs in the AHL. Can't fault Peters for trying to give Smith an easy assignment, but Christ.
All we can really do is hope that Rittich can carry the load until the deadline, and then pray that Treliving can find an NHL quality goalie to either back him up or go 1-1A with. Because Mike Smith is not going to help this team succeed.
