#Sens controlled zone entries in last night's game against the Sabres was only 11/31 during the 3rd. It didn't just feel like they were dumping and not chasing while down by 1; Unfortunately, Sens were dumping at a rate of 2:1

The only CZE for L1 (Tkachuk, Stutzle, Zetterland) during the 3rd was actually carried in by Chabot during their line change -- Timmy would stay out for L2 in a frustrated offensive attempt. No one from their line would perform a CZE until the goalie was pulled.
Even tired Stutzle has enough speed and skill to easily take the zone, skating through multiple Sabres defenders. While L1 was awarded with OZ face offs (Brady was 13/17 in the dot!) they might have better chances rushing from DZ FOs (L1 was 1 RAF and 4 RAA on the night).
