Last night, the 1st was the worst too. I think they're trying to switch up which periods they can play the worst in. Sioux almost score there, but the ref blows the whistle too soon.
It depends on the players really. Toews has played wing before too, so they could put Oshie at center and Toews on the wing. Personally, I think that would be better as Oshie is so much stronger in the center position.
