Agree, just a little surprised that he got the back to backs after not getting a lot of chances previously. I hope they keep giving more time and he keeps playing well. Be nice if he's a legit future #1 waiting in the wings.

That is the culture they are building here and it includes the goalies as well, so hopefully we will see more of a rotation going forward to keep them both fresh and at the top of their games.
Looking forward to seeing how they do against Toronto tomorrow. If we are as good as we think we are, should be a good game.

He fits right in on the line with Fiala for sure. I really feel for Fiala the way he is snake bit lately. He keeps working his ass off and getting chances but can't buy a goal right now. When they finally start going in for him that line is going to be a bigger handful than they already are.

5. Minnesota Wild

Record: 16-6-1
Last Week: 10
Dom rank: 4
Sean rank: 5

Sean: We talk about Kirill Kaprizov a lot here. That’s fine! He’s fun! But, uh, Ryan Hartman has 13 goals. He had 10 shots against the Devils on Wednesday night. A lot of those are off Kaprizov feeds, but the dude is still at 84 shots on the year already. I’m not sure he’s going to keep up the 46-goal pace, but that’s solid output.

Dom: I remember opening night for the Blackhawks in 2017 and they routed the Penguins 10-1. Hartman had a five-point night and I was sure he was going to be a star for them. It’s taken a while, but he’s finally putting it all together. He and Joel Eriksson Ek make up a decent one-two punch down the middle.

The first thing I said when he scored that goal is "OMG - the patience he showed!" It's human nature to shoot quickly once you get the puck on your stick, but he just held on and held on, all while maneuvering his body, getting the goalie to commit, and then sending it into the now-open net. A thing of beauty.

So many players will rush it and wind up burying the shot into the goalie instead of the goal.

He's a goal scorer and seems to just have that ability to know when to shoot as much as where to shoot.

Love Kirill the Thrill's boyish grin as he nonchalantly scores the winner.
