Hear me out...
Tkachuk - Backlund - Monahan
Gaudreau - Lindholm - Dube
Lucic - Ryan - Mangiapane
Leivo - Bennett - Ritchie
Rotate Phillips in there, too.

Sutter's line combo works - just that everyone drank too much green beer before the game last night. The Flames best line was still Lucic-Backlund-Mangiapane. So, leave that line alone. Not sure why some are still insisting on SN2 to be at center when even Sutter knows he's ok where he is, if he doesn't take any stupid penalties.
