I'm hoping that 3rd line can get going. On Hockey Central they were talking about why Vegas was doing so well and basically said that because they have a collection of players who don't feel as much pressure to get on the score sheet on a nightly basis it makes them play a looser, team first type of game... that's the theory anyways. I was thinking, maybe the opposite is true for our 3rd line right now: Bennett is likely thinking too much about how he needs to score, not about how he needs to play as a team with his linemates. I think the same could be said of Lazar, as this is kind of his chance to reclaim his career and Jankowski wants to stay in the lineup so he's likely feeling pressure to score... it looks like it could be a bad combination. Hopefully when Jagr comes back and Lazar gets pushed to the 4th line we see some better production out of our bottom 6.
