Hoping it's just because he's missed much of camp...but he'll also be 33 in the spring, so may end up picking up more injuries and also have his play ...

2 guys on veteran minimum contracts with him. I'd be inclined to replace Sheary with Berard on that line  

Zibanejad now with 5 shots on goal  

That was quite a save by igor  

Solid one from the third line before that too  

Shea got Zibanejad's stick just enough...still almost went in  

Wondered if Silovs actually may have gotten a piece of that, or maybe a defenseman  

Doesn't have the most accurate shot yet...may want to work on that  

He's had a couple in this game  

3 of the NYR 7 shots from Lafreniere

Forwards the one at fault...has been a problem for a while now  

Welp, 1-0 Pittsburgh...Lafreniere reads the play wrong and lets Brazeau all alone for a forehand/backhand shot

I hadn't noticed yet  

Probably will want to loosen that tie at some point in the season, it can be a tough gig in NYC  

The ice appears to be slippery tonight
