Stralman has an uncharacteristic meh game. The Wild just had more jump for much of the game (especially after the first) and they were winning all of the puck races. They were also taking the body more often - surprising, since they seemed to have more energy than the Lightning did, despite having played the night before.
I have noticed that Coburn has looked pretty solid the last couple of games, and he seems to be activating more often and joining the rush. He doesn't seem to have gotten burned on it yet.
Stamkos looks ineffective most of the time. It's like he has forgotten how to deke and stick-handle. Does he has some secret concealed hand or wrist issue?
