Doesn't change the fact that it looks like they got worked, but maybe they stayed structured while getting out played.

I was partially joking. A guy like Tkachuk is supposed to generate scoring chances and cash in. Not giving up blue chip chances is good but that is not enough. His passes rarely connect and he looks inadequate compared to Matthews and Nylander who are his peers. You can say the same with Lindholm who somehow has gone quiet
