2 goals blocker side on Blackwood off the rush. The opening one, Pacioretti’s, on the short side Blackwood was way off his angle and still moving at the time of the shot. High blocker side is where Blackwood needs to improve. No worries probably, he will get there.
We did not create much 5 on 5 on this road trip. But our defense and goals against was excellent.
We ran a 1 - 3 - 1 power play on the trip as the consistent default. Started putting Bratt and occasionally Gusev in the high slot bump last night, though Gusev also played well on the right half wall. Using Wood and occasionally Nico in the low slot screen. Power play was good but we’ve stopped looking for Palms on the one timer. Generally though we’ve been moving the puck faster and been much less predictable.
