On potentially using John Tavares and Mitch Marner on the penalty kill:
I think the way that they’ll try to position it is that they’ll go towards the end of a penalty; they’ll go on for the final 30 seconds or so to see if they can finish it off and quickly transition into the offensive zone.
Penalties can be such a momentum swing in a game. Within the game itself, a team gets a power play and even if they don’t score, you can see the tilt the ice down either way… I think Babcock is trying to flip the ice.
