That's my concern too but I think we need to trust that our top 2 lines can take the odd shift against the other teams top line and still drive play.
For defensive zone faceoffs then sure hard match against the other teams top line but they shouldn't have to play every second against the other teams top lines.
I feel like some other top lines might not like playing against Tkachuk, Bennett, & Neal either if they bring a gritty, physical, but skilled game each night.
