Missing a few good looks early. Gotta get points against these guys who are maybe the worst roster in the league.
Great passing on 2nd goal and z man looking good on that short handed goal. D playing a little better but would still like to see a little physicality here. Don’t quite know how staal got the only penalty in that scrum. Georgiev I think right now is our best goalie
Yeah they need to be a little harder on the puck early on so far as they seem a bit tenative, which is probably somewhat due to getting used to each other.
Small sample size but, he is clearly benefiting from having a top-end talent linemate and another who is coming into his own on the other side. You may have underestimated his point totals, full disclosure I initially thought your goals estimate for him was high. Long way to go but looking like a 40+ goal season is not unreasonable.
Underestimated would be putting it nicely. He looks like a dominant superstar now that he's with Panarin. He was 18-4 on draws as well. I'd still rather see him with Kakko. I think the first priority of this team other than winning should be to develop this kid. Put Kreider with Buchnevich and let Howden or Andersson center the line.
