Surprised we’ve allowed more goals as GT seems much improved.  Concerned that the PK % is not sustainable. PP improvement  is to be expected based on that abysmal prior year number.  
 

On ice plays seems much better even with all the injuries. Benson and Doan are early drivers for a culture change so hopefully we remain in the fight.

Team looks like it has more compete and more grit.

Would like to see what a healthy team looks like.

The team looks markedly better.  Ultimately, goaltending is going to make or break the season, as is the case with most NHL teams.

I expected this years GA to be better than last year, even at this point in the season.  We won a few games because of goaltending.  

Anyone know GA(Expected) for the same time periods?
