So interesting ... why would Ward move away from sheltering the top line in the playoffs?

Monahan has had 4 of 5 games under 40% (the other just over 40) compared to the regular season at close to 60%.

They have a high number of dzone faceoff's because they are getting consistently outplayed and getting stuck in the defensive zone.

After a whistle the line has had 17 offensive zone starts, 18 defensive zone starts, and 6 neutral zone starts.

As Kent mentioned Lindholm and Gaudreau haven't even been on the ice for a high danger shot attempt for.. in 5 games. Gaudreau is 0-8, and Lindholm is 0-6 in that regard. They haven't been giving up much, but they have created aboslutely NOTHING. It's not a recipe for success.

They won't be rocking a 100% OISV% for much longer...
