Seattle, WA - A little stability other than an injury to key defenseman Nikita Zadorov, and things go down the tubes.
THE GOOD:
Kevin Lankinen won 2 of 3 games with a 3.00 average and .922 save percentage
Logan O'Connor went on a tear with 5 goals and 3 assists
Frank Vatrano (1 G and 6 A) and Tyler Johnson (2 G and 5 A) each had 7 points
Brad Richardson owned the faceoff circle with 60.6% wins
Ryan Donato went 49.6% on the draw, a big improvement on his season average
Sammy Blais led the way with 21 hits
Gustav Nyquist won a remarkable 10 of 12 faceoffs when filling in on the draw
The Aviators have gone 5-2-1 and sit in 4th place in the Western Conference
THE BAD:
Adin Hill lost all 5 games with a 3.42 average and .899 save percentage
Losing 4-0 to last place Arizona.
Ryan Donato, Sebastian Aho, and Sammy Blais were the only positive players with a +1 rating.
THE UGLY:
A 2 - 6 - 0 record.
The powerplay was a dismal 4 for 25 for 12%
The penalty kill was 14 of 21 for a 66.7% inefficiency
Nikita Gusev slumped again with no points.
Justin Schultz went -7 in spite of his 5 assists.
It was a rough stretch, but with their 2 wins coming in the last 4 games, maybe they can get back to a .500 or better stretch
