Well, just like Gulutzan's slow reaction to finally stick Dougie on PP1, it seems like he's figured out how to shorten the bench. At long last. After what seemed to be a whole season's worth of "Why are those guys on the ice??" Kulak/Stone, Janko/Hathaway, Lazar/Stajan/Brouwer saw very little ice time in the 3rd period last game vs the Isles.
A friend and I were discussing this at length against the Rangers. He needs to do that in the first few minutes of the 1st and set the tone, not rolling all four lines right off the bat, nor wait until the team desperately needs it.
