It's been a strange season. The Lakers have never had a full lineup available right from the start. Between injuries (Jeffers, Jenuwine, Roy), illness (Covid? Flu? Bad Colds?) to a bunch of guys starting at the first Bemidji series, and breaking team rules (Puricelli, maybe one other guy), it's been a struggle to put a consistent lineup on the ice without even taking into consideration who is playing the best at any given time. They haven't played nearly as well on the road this season compared to last. Aside from the lineup issues, I think the biggest on ice problem has been getting consistent scoring. Some guys have obviously put up some pretty decent numbers this season, but the Lakers have played 13 games (thus far) where they scored either 1 or 0 goals. That's a big problem.
