‘Ristolainen wasn’t in the locker room after Tuesday’s game so we didn’t get a chance to ask him about the play. From where I was watching it looked like Ristolainen was lining up to hit Guentzel once he got the puck. Instead, as you can see in the above angle, the pass gets deflected by Sabres forward Zemgus Girgensons’ stick and Ristolainen has already committed to the play.’
