Lambert is doing his best to show that he belongs, and is doing a pretty good job of it. The net crash was epic.

A solid win against a playoff team. Almost makes you think they have a chance at the playoffs...

It's been a bit of a slog but he seems more comfortable lately. Loved that partial breakaway he had in the third, too.

I'd very much like to see him become the team's much-needed 2C at some point, preferably sooner than later.

The Knights, Oilers, and Ducks would be fighting for a wild card in every other division. The Knights are really not a great team.

Well, 2 against Colorado WILL be telling.

And I don't mean win or lose...we are obviously not on their level in any way, shape or form, but if we win one of them and put up a good fight in another, that's a very encouraging signal. If they stink in both...well, that's actually the expectation.

Hoping they keep things interesting during these last 3 weeks.

Telling? If you haven't noticed we aren't good. We should be losing these games and many others prior to this to improve our draft position

Glad he's a right shot, something we are in need of. But, at 160 lbs. not sure if he could take the physical play in our division.

It's an AHL move.
