Also to start the first period I thought it was good to have Bennett and Lucic for this game - in case opponent wanted to start something from last year.
However if CGY is ever expecting a push back because they dominated the previous period you have line up Lindholm and Backlund back to back shifts right off the top for the responsible 2 way game.
If CGY needs to pushback themselves you go with whichever lines have Mangiapane and Bennett on them. Perhaps try this to start games - play the relentless puck pursuit guys who are going to attack the net. Monahan line too can do this.
