Just finished the game and it looks like this game was lost by a few individual errors and really poor officiating.
- Zadorov with an absolute dog shirt unforced turnover in the neutral zone. Ends up in a soft Blake Coleman penalty which results in the Gallagher goal.
- Kylington with an unforced turnover at the blueline due to over-stickhandling and getting himself into trouble. Ends up in a dog shirt Mangiapane penalty where Chariot pulls on Mangiapane's jersey and somehow bread gets the call. Markstrom then completely overplays the angle and Suzuki makes Markstrom pay by banking it off his skate as he tries to push off to get back to cover the other side of the net.
Don't want to single out any one player, but Nikita Zadorov should be benched next game. His play at times can be an absolute dog's breakfast. He's a low IQ player with equally weak puck skills and it's constantly on display. Sit him out a game Darryl.
