I was too tough on Dube, CF% of 63.3 suggests he was just unlucky to be -3. Toffoli on the other hand had a CF% of 52.9 and a relative Corsi of -14.1. He has to be better this series.
Zadorov and Gudbranson went from our more reliable d-men in the Dallas series to:
Zadorov CF% 53.7, CRel% -14.2
Gudbranson CF% 48.6, CRel% -20.4
Those two were exposed last night, hope they can figure things out.
The Backlund line was completely dominant, Sutter can't break that trio up anymore.
Kylington's minutes have dropped considerably with Tanev out of the lineup. He's now playing 12 minutes or so. Looks like Sutter doesn't trust him on the ice without Tanev, not that Kylington is giving him much reason to otherwise.
