The Tanev injury has exposed Kylington as a 5/6 dman defensively. Stone is also a 6/7 dman and Zadorov and Gudbranson are best as 5/6 but they are 3/4 now. The Flames desperately need to spend the majority of the game in the Oilers zone like they did for the first 4 periods of this series, because they do not have the horses on the backend to efficiently get out of their zone otherwise. The Tanev injury has had such a butterfly effect on 4 other dmen in my opinion.
