They are not poor defensively.
They are 31st in GF60 on the powerplay in this skid.
Honestly with two key players out and the league's worst schedule to start the season it really isn't all that surprising that a Sutter team is showing up, competing, but doesn't have the firepower to get it done.

Give it some time, this defence has been lucky as far as GA. Those numbers will get worse if they don't start playing better.
