It's a thing of beauty to watch and Tkachuk compliments them perfectly.
We already saw Gulutzan break them up earlier this season and it was a bad experiment.
When you have a line that is matching or beating out the best in the league, why would you ever mess with it?

Completely agree with this.
The one thing that is working well every night is the Backlund line - leave it alone.
Well okay, the 4th line is playing well also.
What the organization should be focused on is getting a RW for Gaudreau and Monahan. Get that line going, and now you have two fantastic lines.
Then from there, you work to build out a 3rd line around Bennett.
