But during the playoffs, it's never been an issue just because the shifts are more intense or shorter and everyone gets involved in the play.

So...

Yeah, it's a little bit different.

Playoffs, regular season, that.

And then obviously you've got a guy that's dangerous.

I guess it affects the other team just with matchups because now you've got two premier players that you really have to worry about and have to focus on.

So yeah, adding a player like Leon definitely makes a big difference.

Yeah, great situation for us.

The game means something for us.

We are wanting to play our best going into the playoffs.

It's not a game where we can take lightly.

And, yeah, we want to have home ice advantage and dictate who we play.

So, yeah, it'll be a big game time.

Oh, absolutely.

Especially the last two games where I think our teams played well.

We've been able to put pucks in the net and who better to add to our lineup than Zach Hyman to put away a puck, whether it's on the 5-on-5 or the power play.

Well, he'll get the significant minutes on the fact that we want to win a hockey game tonight, and for him to hit 50 would be a great bonus, and we want that, but obviously something that we don't want to risk overplaying him for going into the playoffs.

They are.

They've won three games against teams that have been chasing us in the playoffs.

So they have been doing us some favors.
