People need to stop this.
At that point in the game they're just trying to play responsible hockey and not make any big mistakes. They wanna make sure they get that 1 point atleast and they know how dangerous they are 3 on 3.
Stajan has proven that he is a responsible player and likely isn't gonna go make a bone headed play that late. He doesn't have much to offer offensively these days but he's capable of being a responsible vet. Rolling his lines and making sure the top guys have legs for OT makes sense to me.
I'd be more worried putting the Jagr-Bennett line out there that late. They were hemmed in their zone for long periods yesterday
