I think the biggest reason is that the first unit was having success with the Gaudreau-Brodie-Versteeg umbrella formation, and with Versteeg's injury Giordano's just keeping his spot warm until he's healthy again. Then Wideman's filling in Giordano's spot on the second unit. Although, just like the rest of the team, there's not really a gap in quality from PP1 to PP2, the second unit still has Tkachuk-Backlund-Bennett up front. Plus Hamilton's had great chemistry with the Backlund line, so keeping that together makes a lot of sense.
