I asked Scott Wedgewood about his TNT interview on Tuesday night in which he said he memorizes the opposing team's line combos and the handedness of every player. He said it started in Dallas and his goal is to give himself as much information to succeed as possible:
![Scott Wedgewood: That's something I started in Dallas. Ben Bishop would come in as kind of like an advisor, and he was really big into just videoing every goal that had been scored by the opponent within that week, or whatever his his setup was, and it was trying to just [figure out] how much info is too much and how much helps you. And it was just one of those things where I always felt like, if I got scored on back door and there was like a pass that got made to a one timer and he scored and you look it back, and you kind of always go like, 'Could I have had it, should I have had it, or there's no chance.' It's just the way you break it down. snd there's times when it's like, OK, a guy passes to him and he one times, and it's like, ‘If I would have known he was a righty half a second sooner, I would have made an adjustment.’ And it's like, you get caught in some of those situations. Like even take last game that [Leo] Carlsson goal. He's a lefty in front. They go behind, hit him quick, and it's like as I turned my head I was a little bit slow to the play, but it's like, you know he's a lefty. I don't commit to my right post, and it's like, I should have known it, but you can't be perfect, as much as you want to be. But that's kind of where I try and develop that mentality to give as much information to myself as possible. You'll see goalie be like, ‘Oh.’ Like they throw their head back in the air. It's just like, you look surprised. You were surprised. And if I can eliminate that, it's one of the ways I kind of build confidence, in knowing where everybody is.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r37i6viiof7tg7jljznxft6z/bafkreiggtfnh6pdkalnriqavemobpaaycbirsoxf7odbftfhvabducz5ai@jpeg)

Tampa Bay started the season 1-2-4 before going 5-0-0 entering tonight. I asked Jon Cooper pregame what changed, and ultimately he said they removed risk from their game.
Tonight, the Bolts have given up a breakaway goal (Colton) and have taken three penalties. They trail Colorado 3-1.

We kept things short and tight with Jared Bednar this morning after making him wait on us while we waited to talk to Gabe Landeskog.
But I did ask Sheldon Keefe if he enjoys having a quick second shot at a team like they do tonight:
