Watched it late, few things from me.
- Demers is playing like the new Hammer - incredibly reliable so far.
- Chychrun very steady on the defensive end with the puck, looks to be taking that next step.
- Fischer pretty irrelevant, would love to see Hayton back in there but hard to justify putting him on the top 2 lines.
- Schmaltz being schmaltz, nice!
So many small plays for me that make a huge difference such as Schmaltz pressuring the puck on the 4 v 4 allowing Demers to get back on D after getting caught below the goal line. Pressure from Garland in the 3rd out of nowhere forcing a defensive giveaway. Schmaltz with the pressure and gets his stick on the puck to set up Dvo for his snipe job. Clearly the pressure adds up and we're finally starting to put some of these babies away. Minus Stepan.
