Mathieu had 22:44 of ice time, 2 shots, and finished a +1 in tonight's shoot-out loss. Twenty-two minutes is still a lot, and I'm sure Mike Boone will not be happy. He complained after the Tampa Bay game that his 21 monutes was too many, "but half was on the power play, where he's less ikely to have an on-ice coronary." Nice to know that he's so concerned about Mathieu's health. =P Game summary: Kovalev (Tanguay, Schneider), 15:14 of 2nd (PP).
