Remember last night, in overtime, Nick Suzuki and Christian Dvorak were used a lot. The number 14 finished his night with 24 minutes of ice time, which is huge for a forward. He even looked exhausted at one point.
Poehling seems to be trusted a lot more since his recall, as he plays with a lot of confidence and poise. However, Dom Ducharme is still hesitant to use him in situations where he could be successful. Personally, that really irks me.
Also, Montreal inherited a five-on-three power play in this game. Where was Cole Caufield? Number 22 could have finally broken the deadlock if Dominique Ducharme had sent him into the fray. It was a golden opportunity. Instead, it was Chris Wideman taking nebulous shots from the point...
I understand that you don't want to rush the kids, but still, in my opinion, the coaching staff should handle these types of situations better.
