Rasmus with a much better start to the season. Just a guess, but I'll bet conditioning is a big reason.
Still don't really know what to think of Vladar but really happy that Sutter has given him two games already. A young goalie is going to need to play, this isn't some veteran who is used to the backup role.
Remember last year when the Monahan Gaudreau line would spend entire shifts stuck in their own zone with no opportunity to create offense? This year so far the top line isn't always dangerous, but I can only think of one or two shifts that have been like that. That is part due to moving Monahan down the lineup, coaching and some renewed focus from the top players.
