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%).

Ward coaching equivalent of waving the white flag.
