Not only with 5 D. Just three of them were NHL regulars, each of whom was forced to log over 25 minutes. You could tell they were tired late in the game, especially Andersson, who pushed 30 minutes of ice time and was on for 3:19 straight at the end.
After that, they had a tweener and a callup in his 5th career NHL game.
This is a recipe for all sorts of defensive gaffes, which is pretty much what we saw.
