Was a lot like the recent Vegas game. Good effort, but late bounces end up on the sticks of guys who can do something with it, Marchessault and Forsberg. And similar too IIRC that Wings got stuck in their own end with not fully completed shift changes, Petry this time not able to get off for Seider. Nashville just doesn't give up very much and they have Josi being a boss back there and a good goalie. Forsberg is great, O'Reilly and Mcdonagh very solid. They will be a tough out in the playoffs.
This game was what fans and the team wanted going into this season, a meaningful, playoff-style, important game in late March. Can't fault the effort and doesn't make much sense to criticize how they got to this point. Sprong or Berggren for Czarnik wasn't going to change anything except give Nashville the lead much earlier.
Biggest issue going into the season was secondary scoring and they've largely accomplished that, shutout notwithstanding. Next season they have to focus on being a lot better in their own end; a couple more skilled defensemen and wingers with both the skill and strength to win board battles and do something more useful on zone exits than hoping a shot or pass bounces off them outside the blue line. We're still a couple seasons and half a roster away.
