His line got filled in but they've never played together before.
But I just didn't see any of that speed in deployment at all.

I actually saw a lot of Nordstrom when I watched him. I thought he finished all his hits, but they didn't look that hard. He seemed to be doing good things defensively, decent stick and positioning. And he looked fine on the PK with Huberdeau.
That said, that line was playing slow, and didn't bring much energy. Meanwhile Lomberg - Morton - Klapka was the best line a day before. What I found a bit strange was that he didn't take any faceoffs despite his faceoff ability being one of the reasons we got him.
