So, quick question, how are you feeling about Pacioretty up to now? Sure, it's just a five game sample, but you probably have a quick takeaway on it. I know he has one goal, but is he involved, stuff like that. Thanks!

Offensively, he's been OK. Just one goal, but hit a post and had another goal disallowed because of an offside challenge. Want to see him uncork his shot more, but losing Stastny loses that natural playmaker to feed him.
Defensively, actually, been a little more disappointed. Been beat by stretch passes, hasn't locked down his man in one-on-one situations on occasion. He hasn't been alarmingly bad, just surprised how he's been beat. But even the best look bad, like Couturier on Eakin's goal.
