I’m lifting the format for this recap from Nafio, because I really liked it. Stick tap to her.
Manage your expectations. That's the key to pre-season games. Jhonas Enroth was in his first real game after a month of playing as Team Sweden's practice goalie. Tyler Bozak was in his first game since last spring. It would be normal for it to take some time for them to get going.
However, there were some returnees from last night's action in the lineup, including William Nylander, as well as Mitch Marner, who you know has been ready to get in another game since one second after the first one ended.
