Pretty solid game from top to bottom. Good team effort.
Backs - 23mins, Tkachuk - 20mins and Frolik - 18mins. Definitely a function of the Aves top line getting a lot of ice. Outside of a few chances, 3M line shutdown Mackinnon and co. No other line on that team was consistently effective at all. Will be interesting to see how the Aves use last change to get their top guys away from the 3M line in Denver- expecting top line against top line.
With the matchup's going on, it's hard to distribute ice time. With that said, I would like to see Bennett and Neal get more than 8mins of 5v5.
