L.A. has points in 11 straight games after beating Winnipeg, 4-1, and also is allowing two goals a game in its last 10.
One game by itself doesn’t say much, but maybe it’s a sign something special is happening here, something lots of people are missing.
“We feel like we’ve got to protect the goaltenders and help them out, the D and the forwards, and a lot goes into that: Shot-blocking, faceoff coverages, breakouts, shift length, you can go on and on.” “A lot of the shots come from outside, and not too many Grade A’s from right in front of me,” said goalie Joonas Korpisalo, who faced 26 shots. “There’s going to be some where you have to make those timely saves, but it’s fun to play … That’s how the structure works. I know that when the puck is next to the boards, I can stay a little deeper and kind of see what’s up, what’s the other option there. And that kind of calms my game a little bit, too.
Controlling the play for the majority of a game is “not the only way you can win in the playoffs, but that’s a big part of it,” Doughty said. “So I really like the way we’re playing right now, but we’ve got to keep it going as the playoffs approach.”
