-Gudbranson made a couple glaring errors in the 1st, but made up for it when it mattered with that strong check on Johansen at the end
-Barkov keeps finding ways to affect the scoreheet, love it
-Huberdeau finally dangles a defender at the NHL level
-Lu is the backbone
-Ekblad. His importance to this team is ridiculous at this point. Nearly as important as Lu
-Petrovic played fine, didn't have any fatal mistakes, so that's alright
We almost had two highlight reel goals in that game. The Ek breakaway chance. All he had to do was slow himself a little and lift the puck high at the point where he was a foot away from the goaltender. Huberdeau dangles through a defender, but the Jackets got back in time to block his pass over to Thornton. Both were close calls.
