As someone who has been critical of 'Artley with respect to him not giving Baertschi opportunities to succeed, I am glad to see this line combo.
However, I would like to remind everyone that Baertschi started last season on Backlund's line - they had a really good game with several scoring chances and then Baertschi's ice-time was cut every game following.
So I will reserve judgment until we see how it plays out over the next few games.
