Ryan Poehling: Since receiving a role higher in the Ducks’ lineup, Poehling continues to grow his game outside of the aspects he’s made his hallmarks. He’d added layers to his straightforward game, like puck protection, keeping cycles alive, and creating time and space. However, in this game, he was manipulative with the puck, made clever, critical slip passes, and with Kreider always heading to the net, and Terry looking for open ice, Poehling attempted several high-danger passes through seams and into soft ice.
