Zetterberg must have sneezed on him.

Spezza's line was +3, Alfie's was -7 (Alfie himself was -3).

Spezza's line had 9 shots (MM with 6); Filatov led that line in hits with 2.

Alfie's line had 5 shots (ZBad has 0); Greening and Zibanejad each had 4 hits.

Lee had twice as many hits as Neil (6 to 3).

Some encouraging stats, for sure, and some that we hope will change. Alfie may be babysitting, but he'll still want to do better than a -3.

That can't be right - I remember and they showed it on TSN, he had a backhander go right on target that Howard saved easily.
