I think it's a matter of lots of guys coming back and some of the lesser knowns stepping up and producing.
Seto was on a line with Reinhart and Hanowski last game and looked good. Arnold and Poirier have been almost glued together for a few games now. I was hoping to see Hano and Wolf put back together when Wolf returned, but I think Seto and Wolf is a good combo. Skilled and physical guys. Detroit Red Wings circa 1998 "Grind Line" comes to mind.
Baertschi was playing with Knight when they were down, but Knight is out and Vause has been a spark plug playmaker type since he's been up, so this is a good choice to pair him with Baertschi. If Sven can't get going with Vause, that would be a bit strange.
