Will be interesting to see if the Gaudreau-Monahan-Bennett line can pick up their play, they got way outshot and hemmed in their zone for most of their shifts. Backlund had more shots than the three of them combined while checking McDavid.
I know Bennett scored a goal so some people believe he had some great game but if you look at the underlying stats it's simply not true. Even with 2 goals scored in the 3rd, that line got buried all night.
