"Kovalev said the team has taken "a long journey to get to the point where the guys are more confident with the puck."
"Sometimes we have to dump and chase," he added. "But I see a lot more guys who are comfortable, moving the puck around, making passes and making plays.
"When you have to skate hard for 60 minutes, you can get tired annd make mistakes. If you control the puck 60, 70 per cent of the time, it's definitely a lot easier to play the game."
That is the biggest reason why this team is doing much better, puck possession and control.
Now who on this team doesn't fit the mold?
