How concerned should we be about Brian Dumoulin’s play?

They are 4-1-1, have had a balanced attack offensively, and some of the new additions on defense have looked like very strong upgrades.
Monday’s 6-3 loss in Edmonton, however, was not one of the higher points, especially the second and third periods as they let a 3-1 lead turn into an ugly 6-3 loss in what was easily their worst showing of the young season so far. They spent the final two periods chasing the game, getting outplayed, outworked, and just flat out dominated. It was the first time all season they truly looked bad for an extended period of time.
