Green flag: Surviving injuries on defense
We’re still not sure who Charle-Edouard D’astous is, but he’s currently playing top-four minutes with Erik Cernak while Darren Raddysh lines up next to J.J. Moser. It’s rough without Victor Hedman and Ryan McDonagh, but the Lightning are finding ways to manage and that bodes well for when they do get healthy.
Red flag: They keep galaxy-braining the power play
Enough is enough. Just put Brandon Hagel on PP1. Oliver Bjorkstrand has one goal in 19 games, the top unit is worse with him on it and the man advantage has been a major weak spot. Don’t overthink it, Coop! Stop trying to make Bjorkstrand happen, it’s not going to happen!
