First of all, I don't think panicking after one road game is the best way to go. However, if Gaudreau and Monahan continue to struggle, then at some point, they need to be split up. I just haven't see any line combinations that I like when they are split though.
I think Tkachuk and Monahan together is a terrible idea - too slow. BUt how about Gaudreau with Tkachuk and Lindholm?
Tkachuk - Lindholm - Gaudreau
Mangiapane - Monahan - Simon/Leivo
Bennett - Backlund - Dube
whatever
