That end game deployment was odd. Last whistle was at 15:13. 13-23-88 started, then Lindholm line, then Lucic-Froese-Bennett.
Around EN time, Lindholm+Mangi+(Froese stuck) on, then replaced by Tkachuk+Monahan+Leivo...but then it looks like even Froese comes back on again? Weird.

Dobber might be wrong. re-watching now.
Bennett-Froese-Lucic give up a terrible 3-2 and then change around 2:30 left.
Dube-Mangi-Leivo...zone entry and one-timer to Mangi in the slot. Markstrom out for Tkachuk with 2:00.
Monahan gets on for Dubé at 1:55. Leivo could easily have changed off at 1:55 (literally at the centre ice dot), yet Dubé is the one to come all the way across the ice. There is a Flame straddling the bench who never gets on...presumably Gaudreau.
