Anatomy of an 8 game win streak:
Vs Wsh - backup
Vs Ducks - backup
Vs Knights - backup
Vs Jets - starter
Vs Hurricanes - starter
Vs Wild - backup
Vs Devils - backup
Vs Hawks - starter (Hawks playing 3rd game in 4 nights, having to travel to Edm)
6 losses that surround it:
Vs Lightning - backup
Vs Panthers - starter
Vs Hurricanes - backup
Vs Lightning - starter
Vs Panthers - starter
Vs Islanders - starter
They are 3-4 vs starters and 5-2 vs backups. As long as teams always play their backups they should be back in the playoff race in no time. And if they continue to play their backups in the playoffs definite stanley cup contenders.
