Mailloux probably has a higher ceiling than Bolduc, but Bolduc is already an established NHLer with room to improve. Mailloux's defensive deficiencies might prevent him from ever reaching that level. We moved him at the right time while his value is high and he wasn't too disgruntled with the lack of NHL opportunity. We're not the only team with a hole at centre and it doesn't seem like there are many on the market. We already filled a huge hole on RD.

Kulak playing strong top-3 minutes for Edmonton with Ekholm out. Happy to see him thrive, was always a pleasant surprise for us.

Nice to see Doby make some big saves to keep us in it. Win or lose, I'd love to see some fight. We came out strong but finished the period on the backheel. Might be blender time for the lines.

Slaf winning pucks and driving the net, he's going to be a dominant playoff producer for us if he can bring this kind of effort consistently.

Amazing how we tilted the ice each period, we never let up!

Wilson better be ejected for his role in that.

Terrible turnover by the Caps led to the Carrier goal. Our lines look a lot more balanced without Laine.

I would love for Arber to get into the lineup. If the bottom pair is only going to get 10-15 minutes, might as well have him in there for the intimidation factor.

What a lad

Gonna see him Monday night at Bell Centre boys!

I guess management prioritized getting him into the fold immediately vs keeping him on his ELC for the extra year. It could work out favourably if he signs an extension before his major breakout.

Holy crap! He'll have to hit the ground running but it'll be fun to watch. What a turn of events!

Best hockey game in years!

Saaros not covering himself in glory, as the Brits would say.

These are the prime years of a golden generation of Finnish talent. Twenty years ago you'd have maybe 3-5 stars and a bunch of no names (that would of course manage to punch above their weight). Nowadays you have 2-3 lines of stars or at least complimentary first liners like Lekky. I wonder if this quantity of Finnish talent is here to stay or if they'll regress back to where they were.
