Also, I thought Boychuk was fine. Unfortunately, he is still not rewarded for his offensive plays. Bortuzzo hit the iron after his nice feed and then he had a beautiful takeaway in front of Isles´ net which resulted to great Neal´s chance. But Boychuk remained as the only player with -1...
Malkin was off his game especially in the offensive zone, I just can´t help myself, but I don´t realize how someone can give him a "+" for this game. His one-timer is poor right now, nowhere close to the level from last season. To be completely fair, he had one of his better games defense-wise, but offensively he really sucked. He has to help Boychuk more, I actually think that kid is fine and is not the reason why that line is still struggling. Geno has to simplify his game, become more effective and they will be OK.
