The first two periods were a mess last night, constant penalties, no flow at all. The RR got engaged towards the end of the 2nd and got some nice cycling going. Pederson cleaned up a loose puck that rolled off Strome's stick for the first one then Bunting cleaned up a point shot rebound for the second. They put Latta on Strome's line in the third and he swatted in a puck the Wild goalie juggled the rebound on.
With the goalie pulled, Strome set-up Latta with a beauty cross ice pass he finished back door. In the 3 on 3 OT, Strome took the first two shifts playing with two D, which was odd. Finally they put Strome and MacInnis together and Strome immediately sets Mac up for the game winner. Nice to see MacInnis use that shot, he's a different player this year.
Latta is not fast but he had a Gordie Howe hat trick. Crouse is getting top line/top PP minutes and generating chances, he and Strome actually PK'd together and got a SH chance.
Langhamer had 59 minutes of shut out Friday night with Miska on the bench. Houser plays in a Fort Wayne loss Friday night, then is backing up Miska Saturday in Tucson. The Coyotes trade for Wedgewood in Jersey Saturday and assign Hill to Tucson so it looks like Langhamer just lost a game of musical chairs.
