“Individually, Matthew Tkachuk led the way for the Flames with a 64% split of five on five shot attempts on the night. Other guys in the 60s included Milan Lucic, Erik Gudbranson and Elias Lindholm. Johnny Gaudreau, Trevor Lewis, Oliver Kylington, Zadorov and Sean Monahan also had decent nights in the mid 50s. The middle six forwards were all miserable on the night, all coming in at less than 45%.”
Yeah this looked about right for me. People complained about the bottom pairing but I thought the other D struggled at least as much, if not more, and the line that really had it tough was Backlund’s and Dube’s (for all the complaints about Monahan/Lewis I heard I thought their line was pretty good, not in small part due to Lucic).
