Monahan and Rittich are the two stories thus far that have an impact ... which is pretty unfair since Gaudreau has five points I suppose.
But if Rittich IS a number one goaltender (.915 Sv%), and if Monahan has added speed, a bit of bite and better defensive play (pushing him solidly into the number one center definition) then this isn't the same team as last year, and they are better and more suited for the playoffs.
