Yes, Sutter’s game plan is to get a narrow lead and then protect like crazy in the 3rd. It works sometimes but the margin for error is pretty tough and you need everyone, especially your goalie, to really shut the opposition down. Watch them with the one goal lead last game - they gave up a heavy forecheck and sagged back. And then failed to execute the zone clearances.
