I thought he was fine. He will have to adjust to playing against other teams top lines. This may only last a few games but the more time he spends up there the more he will figure it out.

Andersson is a reasonably smart younger player. Learning good habits from the captain as his mentor is a positive.

These last 5-10 games look quite different to me because the bottom six have taken huge steps forward. I feel that the impact of this has been somewhat masked on an aggregate level because the top 6 has been poor.

And in the past 5 games or so third and fourth lines have taken another step forward where there are a lot of shifts where offensive zone possession is extremely good and line changes are crisp. What's interesting about these shifts is that while it is generating high quality scoring chances, the more important aspects might be that it wears down the other team and results in even fewer scoring chances against.

Florida - 2 Goals against
Penguins - 4 goals against
Airxona - 2 Goals against
Islanders - 2 Goals against
Anahiem - 1 goal against

This team could take it to the next level once the top two lines exit their slump.
