Interesting that the key performances by NYI weren't kids, but actually the veterans.

-Goals by Eberle (age 28), Nelson (27), and Bailey (29).
-Assists by Mayfield (26), Bailey (29), Kuhnhackl (27), and Filppula (35).
-Oh and Barzal (21) had an assist so you got one.
-Penalty kill minutes led by Filppula (35), Komorov (32), Cizikas (28) and Clutterbuck (29)
-Hits were 11 by Matt Martin (29) and 6 by Komorov (32).
-Plus 2 for Leddy (28) who was 2nd on the team in ice-time
-Vezina performance by Lehner (27)

Barzal and Beauvillier are the only guys in the 21-23 age range. That's it. TWO. Pulock and Pelech are 24 so we can call that FOUR. But otherwise it's a well-constructed team full of guys in the 27-29 range, with a handful of vets in their 30's.
