4th line goes against Vlasic for the first shift, then Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland hops over the boards next. Who do you put out on D as San Jose on the second shift?
Getting our 4th line out vs. the other team's shutdown line creates a matchup nightmare for the other team.
EDIT: Frolik scores after a giveaway. IMO getting the 3M line vs a depth defenseman in Heed played a big part in that.
