Good win for the team. This is 3 wins in a row where they won mostly on the back of players not named McDavid or Leon and where those 2 really didn't score or produce a lot. Those 2 combined have 5 pts in 3 games which for them isn't a lot. Anytime you can get wins without those 2 being a major factor, that in my opinion is found money.
Another really good game for Smith. Take out the goal where Larsson went bar down on him and that would be 2 shutouts in a row. I don't expect him to turn back the clock, I don't expect him to continue to put up these kind of numbers but if he can continue to be solid, good things can happen. I have said it before, the big thing it does in my opinion is help Koskinen. Gives him time off but most importantly, he needs a legit push to keep him sharp. I'd ride Smith for a bit. He's shown to be streaky in his later years and when he gets hot, it's red hot.
Khaira has never been my favorite player because I find him extremely frustrating due to his lack of consistency. He in my mind has all the tools to be an effective bottom 6 guy and do exactly like he's been doing, he just didn't do it on a regular basis. He's playing well, running hot especially offensively. His line as a whole is clicking. I don't expect the offense to keep going like it is because they are putting up points higher than I would expect a bottom 6 line to do but I don't see why a vet line like that can't keep doing all the other little things they are doing. The little things being skate hard, get in on the forecheck, keep things simple, don't be a complete gong show defensively and keep the momentum going when they are on the ice as the big boys get a breather. I hoped the switch has flipped for Khaira and the effort level stays for him. If he plays hard which there is no reason why he can't keep playing hard, there is a spot for him.
I am digging the offense from the defense. Nurse is on fire right now. Everything he shoots is going in. I don't expect it to continue but it's sure nice to see. I think Nurse has taken a step in his game.
Barrie has really started to round out his game and be what I was hoping. He's great on the PP and a legit weapon from the point now. Skates well, moves the puck well. Never going to be a shut down defender but as long as he's not a complete disaster defensively, he's effective.
Bouchard another solid game this time against a better team than Ottawa. He just produces offensive chances. Another rush that almost resulted in a goal. Keep playing him.
I have to say I wasn't expecting much from Lagesson, he barely played before this year so I wasn't sure he'd even play much at all this season. He's nothing flashy but he just gets it done. I could see him being this teams Larsson going forward if they move on from Larsson after this season which I think is maybe the right call. He might not be as nasty as Larsson but he's just a no nonsense, good defending, pucks get out, goals don't get scored much dman who skates a bit better and handles the puck a little better.
