There are games within the game, and Gulutzan said he likes what the team is doing on a game-to-game basis. The team was beaten by a speedy Anaheim team on Thursday, found a way to rally against a more veteran group in Nashville, and then simply stood their ground on Sunday. Miro Heiskanen had two more assists, Mikko Rantanen put six shots on goal, Roope Hintz won 9-of-10 faceoffs. Esa Lindell logged some rare minutes on the power play, while Lyubushkin, Blackwell and Sam Steel were big on the penalty kill.
