Team defense was the culprit last night.
That said, yes goaltending is still a potential weak point for this team and it would be silly to change plans based on a 16 game heater instead of 2 years of looking at Campbell/Pickard/Skinner.

Much like the start of the year though, with goaltending it comes down to occasionally making a hard save. Skinner is looking like he was in October, where he's not coming up with any big saves. It's a significant problem.

He stopped the breakaway and multiple attempts from the slot or free drives to the net. Defence was porous.
Clean house or bust
