You don't want to force it in a risky spot, but at some point in OT you do need to try to make a play and beat somebody 1:1 to get a chance.

I think challenging 1on1 is hard to do if you don't got speed tho. Kadri did the right thing in resetting by taking the puck out of the zone, and come in with speed to generate a decent shot on net. Before they were trying to force things from a stationary position which resulted in bad turnovers.
The latter is actually a critical flaw with PP1 right now. Way to stationary and indecisive. Sutter mention in a press last week that in general the team needs to play with motion. I feel like we see that 5 on 5, and PP2 does it far better than PP1.
That unit is so washed right now and overthinking rather than just doing. I think the lines should be mixed up to inject different energy.
