It's not a coincidence that the last 6.5 games of this slide coincide with Dahlin being injured. (Prior to Dahlin injury UPL had a .909 and was not the issue at all).
Power and Byram are not ready to should the actual defensive burden and are still pretty one dimensional.
Power - Samuelsson
Byram - Jokiharju
Gilbert - Bryson
That's been their d-core the last 6 games 3.88 xGA per 60 in that time (!!!! that's abysmal) and averaging an actual GAA of 4.07 GA/60 in that time.
UPL has a .888 save percentage in 4 of those games but has allowed 13 goals on 12 xGA.
The team defense is abysmal with Dahlin out.
