OVERALL GRADE
Both players were used sparingly. As such, they earned substantially below-average grades. They seemed over-matched at times. #16 Faksa in particular, played limited minutes, and saw his overall grade hurt by his poor play killing penalties. In contrast, his grade was helped by his play in the neutral-zone. Hertl played more minutes. As such, his grade was better. That said, his offensive-zone play did nothing to improve his mark.
