+/- Assessment

1st Goal Against (Ovechkin): - for

• Kunitz – in the box for tripping
• No one else – just a bad bounce off of Niskanen’s block

1st Goal For (Martin): + for

• Crosby – passes a loose puck to Martin
• Martin – beats Holtby on a one-timer
• (Not giving credit to Bennett even though he received an assist. He fanned on a shot attempt and Carlson poked the puck away directly to Crosby)

2nd Goal For (Niskanen): + for

• Crosby – passes the puck left to Cooke and drives into the zone to take away defenders
• Cooke – passes to Niskanen as the trailer entering the zone on a 3 on 2
• Niskanen – made the initial pass interception in the defensive zone and passed it to Crosby, then rifles a shot past Holtby after Cooke’s pass
