Pretty solid 40 minutes. Needed LT to save their ass a few times as usual, but overall not bad.

At least Mick's concern about L'il Pro being relegated to spot duty hasn't materialized.  Halfway through the 3rd period, the 700 pound line has the top three TOI among the forwards.  It'll be interesting to see if L'il Pro continues to go out there with the Caps protecting a lead down the stretch.


This is one place where we don't see a lot of Leonard.  I wonder if for some reason Carbery doesn't trust him when responsible defense becomes the priority.
