I really liked the shift from Huberdeau - Lindholm - Coronato after the Lindholm goal. Lindholm is showing he is our best player despite having no chemistry with Huberdeau. I also thought it was Kadri's best game so far. Dube - Kadri - Ruzicka had several good chances.

I didn't notice Mangiapane, Backlund, Coleman, Huberdeau or Coronato much this game. The D pairings make me upset. We constantly get bailed by Markstrom or by the post. Hopefully it's just a matter of getting used to the system. That said, I would be more than happy with a different D core next year. Maybe get a PP specialist for the 3rd pairing(Gustafsson/Barrie/Klingberg).

I liked the comeback attempt, and the momentum shift, but the play with the empty net left a sour taste in my mouth.
