Well, there were a lot of positives to takeaway from this one despite the result. Max Tsyplakov, who’s been in a bit of a late-season rut, picked up two primary assists this afternoon on some great passes. Noah Dobson also picked up two more assists, his third multi-point game in a row, and his seventh point in his last four games.
Marcus Hogberg had a strong game as a backup, and he really had no chance on Huberdeau’s bouncing deflection that tied the game at 3-3 late in the third.
The point tonight leaves just one point behind Montreal, who currently occupy the second wildcard slot.
