Fleury does well in shootouts because there's nothing else to distract him. It's just him versus one shooter, so he knows exactly what to focus on. His issues seem to stem, largely, from a lack of focus -- or when things are hectic around him, too many things to focus on.
Nice to see Maatta get his first NHL goal. He looks pretty solid offensively so far. I'd still lean towards him going back to junior, largely to work on increasing his strength for one more year, and to round out his overall game getting 25 minutes a night in all situations rather than 15 minutes a night on a bottom pairing. Just IMO.
And that was just Sid being Sid. 17 points in 8 games. He's on pace for 170 points, guys!
