Every line needs to mix it up. Lucic and Bennett had the space and the time to attempt a play there.

Bennett needs to be harder on the puck and both need to put a lot more effort on the backcheck, but to fault the pass attempt is the issue with this team.

Not a chance.

“puck management”, “Getting it deep”, and “Safe plays at both bluelines” are all things that Ward has preached since becoming coach.

Lucic uses that example because him and Bennett heard about it in intermission for sure.
