Goaltending somewhat leveled off from the highs and lows earlier and depth players like Ryan stepped up their game helping offset some of the decline of the first line. More importantly team defense was still very solid. This season team defense has dropped off a lot over last season as Gio isn't a Norris quality defender and the 2nd pairing has fallen off a cliff.
