A big part of it is Niskanen going from great to what ever he is pretty damn quick.
Which begs the question is he not 100% or even 80% healthy, or has he gotten so frustrated and overtasked that he has mentality checked out, and just doesnt care much anymore.
Hard to say for sure, but . . .that PK last game was the Niskanen that we expect and NEED.

Abby’s a bad ass and all, but the chances of him beating Holts would have to be less on a penalty shot as opposed to a short breakaway

I would definitely interfered with him or held him up

And to this point, May just pointed out the shitty pass Connolly made before what started Abby’s goal . . .

I dont know but every game Orlov has to bail out Niskanen. Several times in some games. Last game Nisky got caught on a stupid pinch that he had no chance on and gave up a partial breakaway but Orlov was able to get over and make a great defensive play. Orlov is light years ahead of Niskanen. He is even playing better than him defensively.
