I still don't think the line combos and roster choices are working despite the win.
First goal was a fluke.
Second goal was a nice play by Hyman and Zaitsev, but the line overall wasn't working well. Matthews didn't even get a shot on goal. So the whole theory that Hyman and Brown would dig the pucks out and get it to Matthews didn't really work out. Our best player didn't really get any quality scoring chances. Felt like we were playing with 3 checking lines.
Third goal happened with a line of Kadri, Marleau, and Nylander. Now, I wouldn't exactly pick this as a line, but they are still 3 very good players... and guess what Babcock... when you put 3 good players on the same line... they score goals.
The JVR - Bozak - Marner line finished as a -1... so the defensive problems are still there.
Overall, these lines aren't working. We were lucky that Andersen played really well and that we got a nice bounce or two. A win is a win... and we won despite Babcock's poor line combos and roster choices. But we could be a whole lot better with better line and roster combos.
