* Lukas Reichel skated a team low 8:34 and was followed by fellow forwards Philipp Kurashev and Dominik Kubalik at 9:22 and 9:34 respectively.
* Erik Gustafsson had the lowest TOI amongst defensemen with 10:45 while rookies Alec Regula and Jakub Galvas skated more at 15:19 and 16:54 respectively.
* Calvin de Haan sat out this game due to a groin injury which isn't good timing given the upcoming trade deadline and the fact that his name is in the rumor mill to be moved.
