0.14 expected goals against with him out there yesterday. That’s as close to perfect as you can be.
Would like to see him be more aggressive in the o-zone now that the cross-seam passes are opening up. Lots of opportunities to get pucks down to him at the back door.

Yeah, I think when Sutter no longer has last change, he's going to need to rely more on Kylington's speed to negate McDavid as the Oilers are going to be looking to get away from the Flames' top pair. Might be wise to split up Zadorov and Gudbranson in this series until Tanev is back. Although Stone isn't the fastest skater, either.
Kylington's CF% of 66.7 and CRel% of 4.5 wasn't too bad. But Hanifin, Andersson and Stone all were better. Stone is still putting up excellent possession numbers. Second pair should probably be Zadorov-Stone. But I think Sutter insists on pairing Kylington with a capable vet.
