Eichel, Dahlin, Mittlestadt, and Nylander got points at least, if I'm looking for a positive.
Montour was pretty good again, he's much, much more assertive than all of our other D (besides Dahlin). So often the other guys (Bogosian and Risto especially) get timid and delay the breakout and all the forwards have to circle back and reset, which allows the other team to totally get set in defense. Now I fully understand that sometimes this is because we are changing lines, but it happens in the middle of shifts a lot too when we have clean possession in our own end. I watch the body language of the forwards and you do see frustration at times when they want the puck with speed and then have to circle back and do it again with less speed and less open space to attack
