Quoting: MisstheWhalers
The Islanders completely controlled the game, if anything that shows how meaninglessness that stat is.
I think you missed the point
CH is a puck moving goalie who had some bad reads that cause him to not perform as he usually would.
It happens , happened to Price too same with MAF & Quick
The Goalies like that are like 3rd Defensman who actively contribute and are relied upon a lot to point its noticable the system has to change to accommodate non puck moving back up
They have an off night the D scramble and teams take advantage
Really though if you flip Lowry and Perfetti on the Current lines Daily Faceoff has post for the last 10 games at least
Then i think you'll find success. Remember Toffoli helped Rookie Suzuki and Caufield who was ineligible to be a Rookie as he played so few games , into a SCF run with them as MTL's top 3 scorers.
I think Niederreiter-Perfetti-Toffoli could get more done while Barron-Lowry-Iafolo seem like seem like a threatening bottom 6 line.
Have Perfetti's line run a 2A/2B situation for the Middle 6 with Connor-Monahan-Namestenkov(who are producing well together)
Ehlers-Schiefele-Mapleton lead as they have been on top with 9 goals combined in the last 10 games with 24 points combined
Barron-Lowry-Iafolo lead from the bottom taking Defensive shutdown role and bulk DZ faceoffs with Monahan's line
Cant underestimate the impact Toffoli has on the youth
