Albert Johansson (DET) was very good. Smart puck-movement, got involved offensively, handled his defensive responsibilities well. Finished with a goal and an assist but only played 13:13. It's tough to get minutes on that strong Färjestad team, and they also used 7 defensemen.

Gary Bettman says start date for next NHL season could 'slip' past Dec. 1 in State of of the League address

Among the standout comments he made was that the 2020-21 season could potentially start as late as January, though there was no definitive answer on when it would actually start in the first place.
Wake me up when December ends.
