Well at least there are a handful of other goalies who've had a worse start to the season than Backstrom. Meanwhile, Vasilevski somehow has 5 shutouts on the farm already with an .878 sv%.

Oops didn't realize I had a back to back. Some bad PK'ing let us down tonight.

Good win as the Kovalchuk show rolls on
