93 minutes with Backlund and Tkachuk, next closest combinations are ...
Ryan/Hathaway (4th line) 29 minutes
Ryan/Bennett (3rd line) 27 minutes
I'm with you though, I don't see him as a scratch, but really he's on the list with Neal, Bennett, Czarnik as potential top six round outs that have just not gotten it done consistently this year.
Czarnik - largely invisible
Frolik - lost a step?
Neal - can't buy a goal
Bennett - pace is a great, no production

Probably a contributing factor is TOI/ game with second line vs 4th. Probably got 2-3x minutes per game with Backlund and Tkachuk
