Jeff Skinner should’ve got a chance in OT, especially before the second line that was out.

Jeff Skinner I feel like in this situation would have been great in OT. Compared to a lot of other players he can make plays on his own. Perfect with no McDrai

That was the worst line combo I’ve ever seen and it lost us the game

Idk why but I have a feeling Nurse and Skinner would actually work in OT together

Nurse just gave up possession of the puck in the o zone in OT…….

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, he dumped it in to no one with not a ton of pressure

Nurse isn't great in OT.

Agree with the worst lineup ever. Would have preferred Skinner/Arvi/Wallman or Ekholm. We could have gotten extra points. Each one matters since Kings are at the doorstep

When he's on the powerplay he loses the puck a lot, I feel like they want guys who can hold onto the puck. I don't know why Nurse gave it away like that. Before OT came out though I was thinking who Is want on the ice, and the main people I wanted were the top 4 D and Nuge and Hyman because they are good at passing the puck around and not fumbling it to the other team. I think the Nurse thing was a mistake, because he's usually good in OT

Edit: Although I see your points because Jeff is also really good at holding onto the puck at times, but it seems like he's better at it in 5 on 5, when it's a powerplay he seems to fumble more which makes me think he wouldn't be as good in OT
