Is he good at playing defense?

They did get a shut out, if that means anything. 

Here’s what was in the news today: 

Gilmour played 17:28 Friday while paired with Colin Miller. He had three shot attempts, two on goal, and a 53% Corsi rating at 5-on-5. There were no spectacular plays, no hideous gaffes. It would be easy to say it was a good thing that his game was not noticeable.

But that wasn't really the case. Coach Ralph Krueger brought up Gilmour's play unprompted during his postgame meeting with reporters.

"Often the players without points go lost and missing," Krueger said. "But if you look at Johnny Gilmour coming in after multiple weeks of not playing and playing at that level and that pace, we're really happy with the 'D' group today."

Gilmour was playing at full speed right out of the gate.  He knew what to do and did it.  Dude's a helluva bargain and seems overjoyed to be on an NHL roster even if it means riding the pine most of the time.

I'm sure he has his warts, but for one game at least he was the perfect depth defenseman.

It's also nice to know that we probably have to lose 10 defensemen to get down to 2006 levels.
