They are on pace to have a better road record than they did last year. There are only 6 teams in the NHL right now that have a better road record.
Komarov, Martin and Ross offer no offensive threat at all. Ross probably the most threatening of the 3.
I know we have games in hand but that metro playoff cut line is way too close for my liking.
I’ve been 1 of the few who have had concerns about making the playoffs but that long run of pts makes it tougher . This team has a few issues and any lapse of intensity could result in long streaks of minimal pts. 7 million for Lee who is at best a 3rd liner is a problem and what we need is not easy to get in a trade without moving whatever good prospects you have and we are not stacked there so making a deal using these assets should not be done. OnlyTampa and Toronto are eventually going to take out Florida and Buffalo. They are just better than them. Montreal will also get beat up in that division. I don’t feel anything changes in the Metro. Everyone in the top 8 now makes the playoffs. The only way anyone gets in trouble is if somehow Florida Buffalo Montreal and Toronto all play out of their minds the rest of the way but given how often they play each other that’s not really possible

Martin getting walked multiple times cost us on two of the three goals.
Rough one for the first 25 minutes and then we were much better. I'd love someone like Benn who has that reach and can be creative with the puck.
First goal was off a Dallas skate at the top of the crease...after 2 Dallas players handled the puck..Marts was up at the blue line... Second and third Goals were P.P. Goals on Barzal penalties.
On the 1st Goal Martin forced the Dallas d-man to dump off a pass to the outside Dallas player Clutter was covering...his pass then went off the skate in the net while being covered by Isles D.
The other 2 Goals were P.P. goals on 2 Barzal pims.
