Alex Pietrangelo and Jay Bouwmeester had different defense partners on Monday night. Pietrangelo was paired with Barret Jackman and Bouwmeester skated alongside Roman Polak "We weren't playing very good defensively and we needed to make some adjustments," coach Ken Hitchcock said before the team's 3-2 overtime loss to Ottawa. "We've got to get more continuity and better play back there. Our transition game from our exits was too inconsistent. I thought changing the pairs gave them a different focus."
