OVERALL GRADE

All 3 players earned above-average grades. Faksa's high grade was the product of some solid work short-handed, and in the offensive-zone. Hyka's grade was more the product of some strong work on the powerplay.

Hertl was the only player with offensive-production, as he assisted on the Czech's only goal. Hyka was the only player with a negative traditional plus/minus, as he earned a minus-1 rating.
