3-3 OT is a measure of maturity and willingness to play a defensively, conservative 5 minutes.
While the team has somewhat improved in their team defence this year, it has not translated to overtime, where the consistently try to play a run and gun type of game.
Yes, they’ve finally started to practice OT drills, I think it still comes down to playing thoughtfully and embracing a low-risk game.

I’m not saying he was right but it’s funny how Babcock always put out a defensive line first and then played Matthews/Marner etc later in OT. Now we play them off the hop we’ve lost within the 1st minute of OT like 4 times and we’re a quarter of the way into the season.

It’s pretty simple really. Determination and picking the correct players on the ice

Put three defense men on the ice, and wait for the shootout. Better chance to win this way.
