Would like to see the 3rd and 4th line play out of their minds tonite and put some points on the board. Staal has been grinding it out night after night and, although his point production doesn't show it, he's been working hard. Stepan is also nearing the end of his career and I'd be very pleased to see him get his 500th point in the next few games. Nino's last 2 games have been great, don't know what happened, but he's a different player right now. Lorentz has been doing a lot of the dirty work deep along the boards lately and KK belongs in the middle of that line. His net front is always a threat.

-----------------------------

Keep The Momentum Going: Tuesday night the team pulled out a big victory against the Pacific Division leaders, despite letting their two-goal advantage slip in the game's final seven minutes. Sebastian Aho recorded the overtime winner, a new franchise-best seventh, and Frederik Andersen made 26 stops for his 22nd victory of he season.

So Hot, Svech: Andrei Svechnikov enters tonight game recording two points in each of his last five games played. Because of the stretch he's upped his season total to 36 points in 36 games, which ranks only behind Aho on the team.

DeAngelo's Run: Along with Svech, defenseman Tony DeAngelo also has points in five straight games. The blueliner is now over a point per game, totaling 33 points in 32 contests this season.

Get It Back: When the two sides met in the beginning of December, goaltender (and former Hurricane) Anton Forsberg stole the show, making a remarkable 47 stops for Ottawa. He was the deciding factor in why his team won that game, despite Carolina's 49 shots. The Canes will undoubtedly want to get that one back when they go head-to-head tonight.

Additional Notes:

Milestone Watch: Derek Stepan is three points shy of 500 for his NHL career.

What Color Are We Wearing?: The team will be wearing their white sweaters tonight.

Kinda surprised we are going Andersen tonight. Figured we would have saved him for Saturday. I guess that means Raanta will probably be taking the devils.

Is Martinook still in protocol? Stepan has quietly been having a very productive season offensively. I wouldn’t think we’ll have to wait much longer for 3 goals.

Martinook is out of protocol and skated Tuesday morning before the Vegas game. He's ready to go, but Canada has a 14-day rule that kept him home.

Right. Good point. Completely blanked on that. I’m surprised they let us go up for even a game, I was figuring around Christmas they’d change the schedule so there wouldn’t be any border bouncing, but I guess since it’s only one up and straight back to the states. 
 

He looked good when he came off injury before Covid. But Stepan is a hot hand right now.

TDA deflected that, otherwise Freddie was waiting for it.

They look really disjointed. Start up the ice and fall apart at the blue line. Entries are bad, but they're keeping it in Ottawa's zone.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
