The system is doing its job limiting chances against and generating possession and shots while this team adjusts to all the changes. Honestly if Markstrom was playing like last year they have 5-10 more points and would be firmly in a playoff spot.
The Grade A chances against that were common at the start are mostly gone now which is a pretty positive sign. They are controlling possession and shots now - another good sign. They are starting to gel and if last night and the Panthers game are any indication the high danger chances are getting better too. Ya gotta admit Allan had a good game last night and some luck with posts.
Still 23 games into the season but I'm seeing positive signs and growth with the team but good lord is goaltending important in the NHL.
