Great game from Rittich. So calm and solid, he's had himself 2 very nice games. Hope he keeps building.
Bennett is so skilled. His movement is excellent, finds ways to move the puck under difficult circumstances. Notice some of that in Mangiapane too.
Monahan had a good game, and I could see he was trying to extend his influence when he doesn't have the puck. Went stride for stride against a powerful skater in Horvat in his own zone in the third period.
I have to say that I like what Lucic brings to the team a lot, love hearing him talk about the game in his interviews. Seems like a well spoken and thoughtful guy.
Not a great game, they went into lockdown mode a little early, and the lack of discipline didn't help. Still, they got the shutout win. And it always feels great to beat the Canucks
