On the second half of a back to back, after clinching the playoffs, this was definitely a trap game they fell into. Came in flat, and struggled to get anything going against the Canes through the first half.
They did pick it up and surprisingly had good legs in the third. Came close to tying it, but shitty goaltending and poor reffing were two key things that sunk them. Had some really strong shifts through the first half of the third, and second half of the second.
Frustrating loss but they are missing Muzzin, AJ, and Andersen .. I expect better on Thursday. Hopefully Marincin gets shot into the sun.
