Mike Babcock on the way he’s managed Auston Matthews & John Tavares’ ice time: “We want to play as high tempo as we can… We believe and agree with our sports science guys that this is the best way to get it done”

It’s only been five home and five away, but can you apply what’s been so successful on the road and play a good road game at home to get things turned around?

Babcock: We’d like to for sure. I don’t know in how many road games we’ve scored first… I don’t think it’s been many. We seem to be more patient. We don’t press. We don’t do silly things. We don’t get in a run-and-gun game at home. I don’t know if we are just trying to be too cute or look too good, but in the end, it’s about results and doing things right.
