Fingers crossed they keep this up.

Yeah I could see that happening. The 4th line as Bennett said, isn’t really a 4th line. If Bennett can keep hounding pucks and causing chaos, then that’ll give Leivo who’s probably the best finisher on that line, more opportunities to get in places he can l score. As long as Derek Ryan can stay healthy, he can be the glue on that line, the connecting piece that transitions defense to offense. I don’t think Doc gets enough credit for being the great playmaker he is. He’s very underrated at creating plays from nothing and I hope Bennett-Ryan-Leivo continue to crush it.
