Great last 40 mins, Markstrom held them in it in the first. Lucic-Backlund-Mangiapane were the best line.
Need to find away to play a full 60 mins. Need to work on the PK.

Pike made a good point on the radio earlier today.
There's no point in playing Gawdin/Phillips in a heated Battle of Alberta as their first game this year. Lots of pressure.
The fact that Rinaldo and Froese played so little kind of furthers that point. Would you really want Gawdin to suit up, only to play 2 minutes?
It might be better to play the rookies against Ottawa or maybe Vancouver.
