One thing that I think was a roster mistake for this game was putting Rinaldo in over Jankowski.
Means you have one less PKer in the rotation and you could tell our defensive forwards were exhausted after having to kill off 6 straight penalties to end the game.
I do wonder if those last 12 seconds go differently if Reider, Backlund, and Lindholm aren't as exhausted from having to kill so many penalties in the third.
