3 lineup changes from yesterday:

 

Lindgren for Price

Kulak for Fleury

Vejdemo for Weal

There's a cosmic cruelty to Folin being sent to Laval right before Fleury sits for the first time in months.

Is Lehkonen developing a scoring touch. Am I dreaming??   Please don't wake me up!!


Good he will be apart of the new core going forward. He needs to develop that scoring game.

They need to do some drills in practice where Kotkaniemi has to hold onto the puck for, say, five seconds before he's allowed to pass the puck.  Every time the puck touches his stick, he's looking to get rid of it as fast as possible.  Sometimes that's the right move but lots of times, patience would result in a better play.

That’s a great idea, he telegraphs his passes too.

He’s on pace to break his rookie season mark of 18 goals. Who were his linemates back then? I can’t remember...

Ugly five on three goal which is fine by me. Suzuki's 8th. Domi restarting a points streak? Kovalchuk 2 points in 2 games. 

 

It was not pretty, but Suzuki parked himself in exactly the right position.

Hahaha. With kovalchuk as your last line of defense?

I'd assume with only a couple of practices he hasn't yet learned the Montreal strategy of playing odd man rushes in the worst possible way.
