I have a weird feeling this is what all the forwards outside of maybe Lindholm wanted.
Feel like Tkachuk and Backlund wanted to play together.
Feels like Gaudreau and Monahan wanted to be with Lindholm.
And I always thought that Bennett wanted the Dube-Lucic-Bennett line together from day one.
i've liked Lindholm at Center, but it's also kind of weird how little we've seen these lines together this year. I get that they wanted to spread out the skill but this is still our best possible top 6, and I'm surprised we didn't see it more even just in the third period when you shorten the bench and we need a goal.
Plus these lines still have success together, even in limited time this year.
Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm: 32 Minutes - 50.7% Corsi For, 58.5% xGF
Tkachuk - Backlund - Mangiapane: 77 Minutes - 58.1% Corsi For, 60.9% xGF
Lucic-Bennett-Dube: 51 Minutes - 54% Corsi For, 49.9% xGF
Like others have said I'm very intrigued to see these lines under Sutter tonight.
