Spokane had a comfortable 7-1 lead heading into the third period, when they were outshot 9-5. Drayson Bowman (Carolina) and 5'9" center Tyler Johnson (undrafted in 2008) both had hat tricks for the Chiefs.

Funny that a 7-3 win is one of Tokarski's bad games. I would love to seem him and Jung swap spots for a few weeks and see how they perform in different scenarios.

Tokarski got knocked by the Canadian media for giving up goals late in the third in a blowout win at the WJCs. One of the shots that beat him was a deflection in front.

Spokane doesn't normally score this much. They do have a defensive system, but usually their games are 3 or 4 to 1.

I think Dustin would be fine in Edmonton.
