Top PP times: Myers, Roy (4:01), Vanek, Pominville (3:51), Boyes (3:47)
Trending: Great response game from Tyler Myers (2G, 4 SOG) tonight, who was a healthy scratch in the last one. He had a hit on Dainius Zubrus that’ll draw some attention. No penalty on the play and Myers is 10 feet tall on skates, so keep that in mind.
