He looked good to me. Made some very noticable good plays both offensively and defensively. Uses his stick well. Some excellent passes too. Could have had a couple points. Also got knocked over a couple times and made a couple turnovers but I'd say the good far outweighed the bad.
I think this is both true and not true. His defensive effort is noticeable - which is a big thing. The blown breakaway with the puck hopping over his stick isn’t necessarily his fault - but even if he receives it and doesn’t score it’s the most memorable play.
He also has anywhere between 3-5 turnovers that weren’t necessarily glaring - but were boneheaded plays. More so in the neutral zone than the d zone.
His two biggest weakness are getting the puck out of the zone when his line is hemmed in — and getting the puck in deep after getting hemmed in. There were a few instances where his failure to both led to extended shifts against.
Vs the seattles of the world - it’s whatever. But come playoff time against the elites — they’re the exact mistakes that will bury a team.
He had a fine regular season performance— But if drury is making his deadline decision off of that game —- Kravstov won’t be in the playoff lineup and they’ll be making a trade.
