The defense stinks, plain and simple.
Their zone exits are horrible, they don't move people from the net, and as we saw yesterday, sometimes when they aren't clearing the net, they don't even bother to tie guys up. P.K. is pressing and trying to do too much. Other than him the rest are bottom pairing defencemen on a good team.
You can point to the forwards, and a mistake here and there that lead to goals, but really the entirety of their games have been a struggle to move the puck out of the zone.
