You might still see Backlund's line pass Jankowski's in minutes (particularly to close out games that we're winning), but they no longer have to be our shut down line and the secondary scoring threat at the same time. It's a huge change in dynamic.

Agreed. Having 3 successful lines is infinitely more effective than 2 good lines. It's crazy how much of a difference proper slotting makes
