What a crazy sequence. Dan Vladar makes some huge saves at one end.
Then Huberdeau gets a breakaway. Misses. Then sets up Toffoli for the beautiful slap shot goal.
Good stuff. pic.twitter.com/cshCXFotMb

Yeah it might be time to give Dan Vladar some more starts.

On the radio today, Treliving talked a bit about his philosophy when it comes to recalling players.
