We need to be more dangerous from the circles on in and less reliant on passing from the half boards.

So as Sutter said they are generating more chances per game on average than we did last year, just not finishing as well. And bleeding more high danger as well which is the issue.
Considering they have played some tough teams so far as well that's not a bad sign. They also have a .988 PDO which is pretty poor (19th, last year they were 7th) and still are 5-2-0 with a .714 points percentage which is (3rd ) so that's promising too as they haven't really been "lucky" in terms of shooting / save percentage but have still gotten results.
