Those 5 on 5 totals will go up if they play they have the way to start the season.
The Gaudreau-Monahan pairing could not sustain any o-zone time let alone produce at even strength for the last 1-2 seasons. This new top line is doing much, much better in that department.
Those numbers should derail a lot of the Backlund hate though. He is very important to this team.
