I thought Neal was actually quite good on the PP. He made a nice play to get the puck back to Brodie prior to Rasmus' goal, and the goal only happens because Erik Johnson focuses on covering Neal in the slot, allowing Rasmus to be wide open for the tap in.
Neal also made a couple great plays on 50/50 pucks to keep possession. Didn't notice him outside of his early chance 5 on 5 though, which is disappointing.
