Thought his power forward style once again complimented Huberdeau’s game. Secretly I had hoped Darryl would line him up with Huberdeau, but didn’t think it was going to happen with all the talk about Pelletier and Huberdeau’s chemistry, although I never really saw it.

Thought Andersson and Weegar made big impacts in the game as well. Also think Pelletier could do some good for Lindholm, he’s a skilled checking type player and I think Elias is at his best when he’s playing with similar like-minded types.

You just knew Ritchie would do well with Huberdeau.
