Look for there to be less shots on goal when Halak plays. As mentioned earlier, Halak will really help the transition game by clearing and making those beautiful passes. Dump and chase is not an option with this guy. So this gives Halak an edge even before he has to make a save.
Also now that dump and chase will be difficult, forwards will be forced to carry the puck. That's Ok if they go in against Dandy or Rivet, but Komasaurus and Cube should definitely get some more big hits now. That's what I expect to see anyway.
