The VGK’s play has been pretty inconsistent over the last stretch of games, like the consistency of lumpy oatmeal.
Lindsey Brown is back in the mix and gets right after what’s happening between the pipes for the VGK. How much of the recent issue in goal is on Adin Hill and Logan Thompson? How much of the recent struggles are on the rest of the team’s performance?
The VGK did get some great news up front with Jack Eichel returning to full practice. In the past, that indicated a player was just days away from returning to the lineup.
