Just an ugly win, but a win. Utah really gave that game away.
I really hope Blashill stops going with 7 D and considers getting Mikheyev/Donato into the top 6. Down the stretch last year we had a top 6 like this
Donato – Bedard – Mikheyev
Bertuzzi – Nazar – Turbo
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think Dach is a top 6 player at the NHL level. Bertuzzi has been mostly invisible for long stretches for most of his Chicago career. I would be considering moving Donato and Mikheyev up the lines and Bertuzzi and Dach down to the bottom 6.
