Now you have to do it on the road on the second half of a back-to-back. Their 5-on-5 play in terms of out-chancing and outplaying their opponents has been fine for most of the season, and downright dominant in the second half thanks to the play of their top-six. They finally got the goaltending and special teams play (at least as far as the power play is concerned) to turn it into a result. They earned it by being the better team all night, once again owning a significant share of the expected goals and carrying the play at 5-on-5 as they have done consistently since the All-Star break. That should not only improve the team’s 5-on-5 goal differential, but would also (in theory) improve a penalty kill unit that has struggled. If there was ever a game they were going to lose, and lose handily, that looked to be the game. It was a complete game from the game’s most complete player at the exact moment his team needed it. Not only from a management and roster construction standpoint, but even with this roster. For starters, the trio of Tristan Jarry, Jeff Carter, and Brian Dumoulin, all of whom have been under fire for weeks now for their play, all made significant contributions. They finally got one that looked like a loss. There were a lot of reasons why they won. They were due for a game like that.
