Even if Bennett isn't scoring goals, he can drive that forecheck and maybe open up some space for Johnny. Lindholm is doing his best and I've really liked him this series but Bennett just has that extra grit that seems to be missing.

I would do it. Bennett first line centre to create space for Johnny. All he has to do is stand infront of the net and pot in passes. We need his grit more than we need Monahan there. Move Monahan with Chucky to create a second scoring threat and tell him to remember how he played in junior when he was the only star on the team and had to create for himself. 3M isn't really able to contain MacKinnon any way the best defence is to out possess them at this point and keep the puck in their end.
