Big shift in tactics from coach Ward tonight with Monahan and Gaudreau getting 7 offensive zone starts and 0 (!!!) defensive zone starts. They were on the ice for 1 faceoff in the defensive zone which was after an icing but that's it. They were also out for just 2 neutral zone faceoffs.

Coach Ward put the struggling duo in the best position to find offensive success as he possibly could and they still got #### all done. These two are going through some kind of funk (Lindholm too). Unreal. Not much else you can do or say.

Gaudreau: 16 attempts for and 16 against (50%) with an xG of 0.4 for and 0.47 against (46%).
Monahan: 17 attempts for and 21 against (45%) with an xG of 0.43 for and 0.57 against (43%).
