One fan astutely observed that the coach appeared to be yelling at him to get off the ice. Shifts in the NHL typically are about 45 seconds long but the 22-year-old was out there for nearly twice that time before John Carlson scored the go-ahead goal.

Be sure to stay tuned for updates on the team in the coming week as they could make some franchise-altering moves.
