Strong game by the flames all around.
Top line looked great, though Gaudreau made some questionable plays late, instead of keeping the puck deep. Still, all 3 players were buzzing, especially liked lindholms game. Glad he got the EN, he deserved something tonight.
3M line was great, Frolik played exceptionally well. Deserving of a star for sure.
Bottom lines each had their moments. Jankowski's best game of the year. Also, thought Bennett made some nice plays.
D pairings all played very strong. Loved Kylington digging his shoulder in to separate the man and the puck in the 3rd. He's an NHL regular, will only get better as he gets more export to this level of play.
Rittich was strong all night. He really needs to work on his puck handling, and be less aggressive in his attempts at playing the puck. He's lucky to not have any mishaps tonight.
Hope they can string some more games together like this and build some confidence up again.
