Ryan McDonagh, Vasilevskiy, and Brandon Hagel were the game’s three stars.
It was a makeshift lineup and they played a simplified defense-first game and absolutely strangled Ottawa’s offense. It was impressive even if it wasn’t pretty, and the impact of two wins over Ottawa in three nights on the standings cannot be understated.
Gage Goncalves had a helper, 3 shots, and 1 blocked shot in 12:54 seeing some duty on the top line with the whole thing in the blender.
