Don't forget Winnipeg also owning them. Of their 49 wins this season, only 38 were in regulation. They benefited greatly from 3-on-3 and shootouts.
The only thing I worry about is that they have become really good at selling the calls now with the refs. It must be the thing they work on the most at practice.
