Observation:
When we look at the +/- of both teams, we see drastic differences even though the game went to a shootout. The first line of the Raiders with Mikael Choybuk, Mr. Faceoffs and Oleg Scoreovs ended the night on a +2, while the third line with Clifton Outlaw, Matt Kholin and Troy Reynolds finished on a -3. On the Raptors side, every player ended between a +2 and a -1 although only Chico Smeb and Veika Toivanen managed to get a +2. This shows that the Rabtors are a much deeper team and they should end this regular season much higher up in the standings than the Raiders.
