Markstrom was solid and should only get better.
Defense looked good for the most part, wouldn't change anything there. Pleasantly surprised with Tanev.
I think you have to keep Bennett up with Backlund and Mangiapane after last night. He provided a real spark to that line. Dropping Ryan to the 4th line and getting him back at center should stabilize the 4th line a bit. Maybe even get Simon in there.
Monahan and Gaudreau need to be better at 5 on 5. I have no idea what has happened to these two, they used to be so good.
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Dube
Gaudreau - Monahan - Leivo
Bennett - Backlund - Mangiapane
Lucic - Ryan - Simon
Gio - Andersson
Hanifin - Tanev
Valimaki - Nesterov
Markstrom
Now just find a way to build a deal around Monahan for PLD.
