Nice game offensively and two points in the bag but bad defensive habits creeping back in does not bode well. In the third you would think the Pens were on a b2b with travel, not the Blues, two times the posts saved us and Jarry was immense.
The rumors of Malkin's demise were greatly exaggerated apparently, I wish the NHL didn't frown so much on players resting for entire games because this probably would have a rather positive effect on our elderly team. Graves was noticeable in a bad way again and you wonder for how long the goalies' stellar play will continue.
Last but not least - a Carter GWG assisted by Harkins proves Christmas miracles are legit.
