I thought HLT were almost invisible all night. DKM seemed to have lots of jam, skated well, produced good chances.
Metrics for the third line were spot on. Ruzicka and Backlund pair well. Ruzicka seems to have a great nose for where the puck will go and he finds the right spots.

Since advanced stats are usually (always?) more accurate with larger sample sizes, it's my belief that game samples of these stats will often not fit the subjective eye test of fans but because the sample size was small, any individual watcher's eye test may have been a more accurate depiction of the game.
