-4 at 5v5
+9 at 5v5 without Brendan Smith

Stop making the same moronic posts.

--25 is -25. Who cares when it happens? That means he also allowed short-handed and empty net goals.

Watching video you'd see that many times those goals were directly related to his turnovers.

The Brendan Smith nonsense is a straw man that only the Devils' PR people and Luke apologists find relevant. It's just as likely Smith's numbers are the result of playing with Hughes.

Still lacks confidence, almost like he wanted to pass first there despite being wide open 10ft out.. but he is waking up- we desperately need this from him...
Eh I wouldn’t say lacks confidence…. He’s just got a pass first, second and third mentality.

He shoots more if he’s frustrated

Sure he wants to pass first and often, same as Kane, but you can see his hesitation out there in passing and shooting. It isn't just that play- been 2 games worth. He has looked better the past period so let's hope he continues to build from it.

Team really needs to work on its breakouts. No one is on the same page.

Hughes and Sanderson as a pair isn't working so far. Kesselring needs more ice time.

Augustine needs to get stronger on the net front scrambles but he's so much calmer in net than Lyon, who's all over the place.

Caufield is fighting it. Needs to do more of what he did on the Hughes goal. Just start hitting the net and good things will happen.
