So playing an undersized Mangiapane, and Jankowski on your fourth line, with almost exclusively defensive zone starts is what is ailing this team? If only Tre could see the light and realize it's our fourth line not providing that offensive punch that the rest of the league's fourth lines are bringing. Glass and Stajan are getting the ice time they are because unlike Bennett and Jankowski last game they aren't a complete disaster in their own end. Say what you will about Glass not being the most skilled but at least he gets in on the forecheck and does the job he's asked to do. Dube would have been a better fit for that role, but going back to junior and the wjc made more sense for his development. Every team has role players, you can't just try and stack a team with skilled guys because it doesn't work. Ask the Oilers.
