Tkachuk with the 3rd lowest ice time next to Lucic and Ritchie, probably needs more ice time to be effective, he looked better in the 3rd period. Coleman was the only person above 17mins tonight, he's been solid.
Based on the minutes distribution, looks like Sutter has full confidence in rolling all 4 lines. Not sure how much of that was related to going up by 3goals halfway through the 3rd but the ice time was very well managed today. With essentially no travel to NJ, the guys should be relatively fresh for tomorrow.
