I guess putting Ritchie on the Gaudreau line helps you roll four lines. It basically frees up a better player for your bottom lines.
A lot of players have seen a pick up in their play last two games. Funny that Tkachuk not one of them yet. Maybe that's good, still lots more to get from 19 for this club. Although it seems ESPN has Tkachuk as the 2nd star so maybe he played better than I'm giving credit for.
If we're going to be serious about playoffs this year, Treliving has got to find some scoring help.

Guessing Sutter is pretty happy with Tkachuk's line last night.
They didn't get a lot done on the score board (0-0), but they were air tight which I think is the reason they didn't play down the stretch on Saturday night.
I still think he's fighting it ... confidence? But at least his line has been pretty good of late. Dube and Tkachuk were 4th-5th in xGF% last night at 77%. (6-1 in high danger splits).
Kylington ... would like to see more of that clip where he catches Byron. Why was he so deep in the first place?
But yeah bobbled the puck a bit, but he has to be rusty. Deserves more games with that effort.
