I just checked the NHL play by play sheet and it says after Tkachuk's tip in the 2nd, his only event was a giveaway in the 3rd and the Muzzin penalty after the game ended.
Likewise the only events for Lindholm in the 3rd were faceoffs, no shots (even attempted)/hits/blocks/takeaways, etc. Mangiapane had that missed shot I mentioned.
The 2nd period was great by the team overall, but the 3rd was very flat by virtually everyone but especially the Tkachuk line.

I don't have the stats handy, but didn't they out chance the Matthews line like 12-3 or something while playing head to head?
