Lindholm and Tkachuk playing well together and best to have Lindhom progress at Center.
Backlund doing well on 3rd line. Dube looked good on return. Would like to see more from newcomers Lievo and Simon.

Hrudey disagreed and again all he mentioned was
- liking Tkachuk and Lindholm
- giving 13 and 23 better matchups
He really wasn’t speaking to optimizing the overall mix in the lineup, and I thought his response really was lacking.
Johnny has 6 PP points out of his 9 total. His point streak is because of the PP, not because 5 on 5 is working particularly well
So I am not sold on the idea that putting Lindholm at C gives 13 and 23 better matchups. That truly depends on who they have on their wing
I am not sure you want to just hang on 5x5 and rely on special teams.
Wouldn’t you like to see a lineup that can take it to the other team and win 5v5?
