Bennett on top line?
Although I think Sam was okay on the top line last night, I just don't see a good fit. The few plays he made, he got away from the game that has been succesfull up until this point...........which is 3rd line chip and bang hockey. He was looking to Johnny every time he had the puck, and multiple times, trying to force a pass through multiple sticks to a covered Gaudreau instead of getting the puck deep and pounding them.
With that being said, I wouldn't be opposed to another shot, but would like to see Monahan drop down to 3rd line with Lucic and Dube and have Bennett flanking Lindholm and Gaudreau
