I missed the game did Johnsson return after the Radulov hit?
He did, didn't notice him too much as he only got about ~7minutes of icetime. Was pretty good defensively but didn't generate much going the other way. Just didn't have the puck enough, and not a lot of open-ice to work with. Game was extremely tight and it felt like we were playing against another Hitch-coached team.
Even Marner, Nylander looked invisible for a while until later in the game. And just to get some open ice, they had to make some nice, skilled plays or use their edges really well.
I like Johnsson a lot but I think the style of tonight's game might have fit Leivo's playstyle more.
