Todd Cordell: On limiting high-danger chances, the bottom-9 holding its own, and more

How many penalties has Wood drawn/taken? I’ve noticed like Nico, the faster Wood moves his feet the more likely he draws a penalty.

I can easily live with that (or anything near even) for an agitator and guy who often defends his teammates.

Wood 0 goals so far. shoots from weird angles with no chance of going in needs to pass more. How many times has NICO been chased out of the faceoff circle???? seems everytime lately.....

Todd, at what point does Zacha having zero points as the second line center become an issue that the organization needs to address?

Wood has the most shots of any forward not on the top line. He's leading the team in PIMs because he busts his ass every shift and dishes out punishment to the other team. He does have 3 points in 8 game despite playing with not great talent on the 3rd line. And nothing has no chance of going in. At least he's pulling the trigger.

To be fair he is sporting the worst +/- on the team (-4) but that's not a great stat.

I can live with that. And after that Benn fight, he has only gained more respect. Really impressed with Coleman and Dea's play on the bottom 6. Mueller logging 19 minutes of fairly solid shut down, with Severson regaining his offensive spark doesn't hurt our depth either. Also, Schneids back, and Bratt hopefully not much far behind, this teams depth charts are looking promising. Just need our stars to stay healthy. Big test tomorrow night.

It felt like the whole game ALL our center man were chased out.
