That's what I was wondering as well. He kept trying to match Monahan against McDavid.
I hope he doesn't think Monahan is better defensively than Backlund. You play Backlund and Frolik against other teams first lines and let Gaudreau and Monahan play against their second or third line.
Even with the first change there is no way you start the game with Monahan and Gaudreau.
