There is a confidence issue and a work ethic issue. You have to keep skating and winning puck battles until the game is over. Like Estrada said they decided they’d won and basically stopped digging and the Sens took advantage.

After the third goal I was sure they’d dig in, send the puck down to the other end and forecheck hard. nah, they let them into the zone easily.
Leading to the two ENGs they had chances to win the puck and they didn’t. Even the third goal was a 50 50 chance to get the puck and they let Batherson have position and get to the puck first.
Markstrom wears the OT goal, and we can debate the 2nd. But they sure didn’t toughen up.
