As much as we rag on the middle 6 for not scoring, it's absolutely huge for Gaudreau to work his way through some offensive struggles and still have a 1-0 lead in the third when he finally breaks through. In past years that'd be the goal to get us on the board in a 3-0 game.
The team defence really is the foundation, and it means Gaudreau's offence isn't elevating us from horrible to barely winning, it's elevating us from breakeven to dominance.
