Nice game by Lindholm. Tanev is so important to the team. Toffoli nice actions.

Ruzicka looked good and had great results. With Valimaki performing well in AZ, I wonder if there might be other young talent the flames have buried without giving a proper shot in favour of stagnant and/or useless vets. I guess we’ll never know.

Lucic with Kadri and Mangiapane might have been fine against the Kings but will tank 2 otherwise potent top 6 players against a better team.

Markstrom, what can you say, 82.8% save percentage, 5 goals on 7 high danger chances. Not going to bring the flames above 30th in the league in save percentage with that kind of play.

On the other hand, do the obvious thing and bring in some players to bump Lucic and Lewis from their current roles, and have goaltending rise above 30th place, and the team is looking good.
