It squirts loose and Hubey turns to go on offense and Kadri follows the puck but doesn't get in the zone. Z goes to cover the puck carrier because Pelletier is being left behind. 2 F out in space, the Flames bunched up on obne side of the ice and Z makes a bad read. He went down like it was a 2 on 1 rush and he was blocking the pass, but wasn't watching the open player at all. I don't know I have seen one side of the ice so vacant. Not a single Flame in the zone on that side. Two F were still at the blueline when the puck went in, but it was a 2 on 3. This if fair. There were multiple breakdowns and in Z's defense Pelletier got beat very easily. But still, it was a WTF are you doing type of play. I really dislike it when players hit the ice like that.

I think he was unsure about Markstom's ability to stop the shot. He was committed to the shooter but then tried to stop the pass. Not effective either way. Ya I mean, the Flyers player wasn't going to score from the side boards. Zadorov needs to stay on his man and let Markstrom handle the shot from the bad angle.
