The offense has been great but the defense has also carried them lately, allowing only 2.88 goals per game with only six goals in the last three games. Brent Burns and Jaccob Slavin have combined for 7.5 defensive point shares and 127 blocked shots while Brady Skjei, Jalen Chatfield, and Brett Pesce have combined for 6.0 defensive point shares to add depth to the unit. The hope is that goaltender Pyotr Kotchetkov can step up as he's struggled with a .902 save percentage and a 2.52 goals-against average on 632 shots with -1.5 goals saved above average.
