X-Factors For Most Teams Entering The 2022-23 NHL Season
The Red Wings gave up a league-high 4.33 goals-per-game from February 24 on and made a couple of additions to help this offseason, including the 31-year-old. Chiarot tallied nine goals, 26 goals, a -14 rating, 49.19% five-on-five Corsi-for percentage, 48.14% five-on-five expected goals-for percentage, and 49.24% five-on-five scoring chances-for percentage in 74 regular-season games with the Canadiens and Panthers in the regular season. He added one assist in 10 postseason games. Chiarot improved after the trade to Florida but will need to perform better if the Red Wings are going to be in the mix for a postseason spot.

Goalie Ann-Renee Desbiens made 19 saves in the win, including some in the final moments of the third period, while forward Brianne Jenner scored two goals in 1:24 during the second period.
I swear to goodness, I was watching the end of this 2-1 game and one of the last-minute saves by Desbiens gave me visceral flashbacks to 2009. I spent the rest of yesterday in a bad mood because of it.
