I think Lazar sat and watched Tkachuk game film from last year. Relentless forecheck tonight, he forced the Jets to move the puck quickly and the skill of Bennett-Gaudreau fed off of that. He also found his positioning in front of the net. He needs to prove consistency, but for me he earned another game and pushing either Glass or Brouwer out.
