The team was turning the puck over left, right and center. It wasn’t just him tonight. I also don’t think he expected Andersson to be so deep in the offensive zone especially so late into the 3rd in a tie game.
I’d give Lucic a pass alone for helping fix the Lindholm line. It was the best Lindholm and Toffoli have looked all season. I had a notion that Lindholm’s game would be much better if he found himself a winger who was more effective on the forecheck and that’s exactly what Lucic brought to the table. Feel like that line will get a good look for the next little while.
