We need to see much more secondary scoring. They've been missing from the score sheet for too long, and it's the top-line offense that has been carrying us.
Some timely depth scoring would have resulted in more wins over the last 4 games where we are 1-2-1.
If the middle-6/bottom-9 forwards don't wake up soon, I think we're headed towards another first round exit. Teams can't go far in the playoffs without depth scoring, because we know that all playoff opponents will be focused on a team's top line. The depth scoring is where the perennial "unsung playoff hero" comes from.
