It's hard to change lines up during the playoffs, but when you lose a main piece like Tkachuk, I think that you do the best with what you have.
You don't touch the third line.
I think that you look at Johnny in Tkachuk's spot.
Move Ryan up to play with Monny.
Trust Janko to play a fully defensive role on the fourth.
Gaudreau - Backlund - Mangiapane
Ryan - Monahan - Lindholm
Lucic - Bennett - Dube
Quine - Jankowski - Reider
