Also a good sign to see Bennett again strong on the puck and creating last night. He seems to be getting some chemistry with Neal. Thought Jankowski had a good start but a rough third period.
They may want to try Ryan between those two.

I thought in the few shifts on the top line that Bennett showed some good chemistry with Lindholm. Lots of forecheck and puck pursuit. I would love if they gave him a shot between the two of them.
Gaudreau-Monahan-Tkachuk
Bennett-Lindholm-Neal
Janskowski-Backlund-Frolik
Dube-Ryan-Czarnik
Probably wouldn't work out pushing Backlund down, but I think this would give two very dangerous scoring lines and a good shut down line that can contribute. Anything is possible with the Peters blender!
