The fourth line that was working has been torn up in favour of an old AHL line.
The only line better is the 3M line with Lindholm.

It has to be a clear message to Gaudreau and Monahan, right? They've been playing poorly for too long.
Earlier in the year, they were playing with lots of pace, lots of pressure on the puck, and giving no time to the team in the other end. The last while, they have played slow, and too East/West. I would guess Peters wants them to play the way there were earlier. This is a wake-up call to get their attention, even if it is only for a few shifts to start the game tonight.
