Pesonen-Henrique duo has looked pretty good. I've watched every game and I had that feeling once they find each other with their right linemate they will be a good duo. Kowalsky has been using Pesonen on the PP and it's always the first 4-on-4 unit they put out there, Pesonen-Henrique

Only saw from the 2nd goal, but it was a tick tac toe passing for a shot from kovy's pp spot. I believe it was tipped by Pesonen because I heard them say the shot was from Buttler.
Devils 3rd goal was a 3 on 2. There was a drop pass for Larsson in the slot and decided to pass to the third man, Josefson and his shot trickled through after the goalie got most of it.
Streams are annoying but I believe they are jumbo-tron feeds
I think Pesonen at least would be a solid call up if we need him. Hopefully it eliminates the need for guys like Sestito, and Mills to see NHL ice. Does Mills even play for Albany still?
Just finished the game.
That was a beautiful "Devils" game : solid defensively, no-risk defense : clear the puck, good positionning, safe plays.
Offensively, nice work as well, strong along the boards, always a guy to support.
Best player was Kinkaid, with strong saves to keep the Sharks behind.
Pesonen was excellent. Henrique, Josefson weren't as "visible" but did all the little things to help the team, and were dangerous enough to score.
Tedenby was good as well, Butler a little bit. The others were not at the same level though.
Defense, I liked Larsson a lot : amazing poise, calm, and skill : the way he moves the puck, quality of backhand passes... huge skills.
Urbom, Hrbarenka and Corrente (I'll put him 2nd behind Larsson on this game) were very good as well. I didn't like Leach though. Stupid penalties.
Overall, a pretty good game. The PP could be better (Gelinas...) and the PK was way better than the last game, and with less penalties.

Agreed with everything, but I have a feeling we won't see Henrique flying up and down the screen etc. He's the guy that does the little things right and doesn't stand out. Josefson's the same way but you notice his speed.
I'm still holding true to the Gionta comparison for Pesonen. Pesonen has that same skill set Gionta does, he's good along the boards, he makes some nice nifty passes here or there, but he is still a good gritty forward. Not saying he's going to score 48 goals, but I could see him ending up like Gionta.
Yes, Pesonen is a very nice surprise.
And this Hrabarenka is also an intriguing find : he managed to get a contract in a crowded defense and plays every game over Burlon, Kelly and Young... and it's right, he played better than the 3 others.
The only thing I don't like about the Gionta comparison is that if we could have put Gionta's heart in a 6 foot, 200 pound body, he would have been completely unstoppable.

But a Gionta of that size might not have had the same amount of heart.
