They've been pretty terrible this season overall. It's a team full of bottom six players, aging players past their prime, and inconsistent young players. There's none of that top line talent on the roster that other teams have, and their team defense hasn't been good enough to compensate for that.
Heiskanen (who you'd figure would be one of the few bright spots) has looked like a different player altogether; timid, defers to everyone else on the ice offensively more than ever before, and just seems to struggle with his decision making on the ice. Maybe it's an after effect from COVID, but regardless, he's been really bad.
I'd be surprised if they even come close to making the playoffs given their play so far and the fact that they're gonna be playing a game AT least every other day from here on out, including like 9 back to backs on top of that. Normally I'd be thrilled to be able to watch them play essentially every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, but they just don't have the depth to be able to shuffle players in and out of the lineup and produce, so it's gonna be painful.
