This xG/xGA graph really shows the impact of each line in the two games. The fact Gourde had 2 assists in game 2 means this doesn’t tell the full story, but it clearly shows the impact of the MacKinnon line.
It’s also interesting seeing the MacKinnon line excel and Rantanen fall off in game two after being split up.
3 takeaways on #SeaKraken–#GoAvsGo game 2:
– MacKinnon continues to be the difference maker. Even w/o Rantanen. COL chance quality doubles with Mac.
– Unlike game 1, Gourde's group couldn't take advantage of Mac and match shot quality.
– SEA needs Beniers line to step forward. https://t.co/Je4emJtQHB pic.twitter.com/9mBnKrpn7q
