Another potential advantage of having Galchenyuk on the right side is that with his skills he can either tee up the one-timer or the quick touch pass to set up Weber for his canonading drive.
Pacioretty on the left point also has big upside–he could act like a rover or pull off the backdoor play that Markov was so brilliant at for years.
They have the tools to get things going. They will sooner rather than later. Upside from tonight: they finally scored the first goal. We saw the momentum that they had running for the first sixteen minutes of the period. Two quick goals turned things. Had they bounced back or even got an early one in the third I think it’s a different outcome. That’s hockey.
I’m not worrying about the long-term trends here. Look, these are tough teams they’re playing against to start the season–line up almost any squad doing three games in four nights against the Caps, Rangers, and Hawks (all in different cities) and you won’t see many teams getting six points.
On to the next one…The Streak on the line against the Leafs.
