I would say the 4th line isn’t the 4th line anymore. Ice time is very equal with the Monahan line last night, and who do you think Sutter would trust more on the ice leading by a goal?
Richardson, Lewis, and Lucic know they’re role and what it takes to win. And they deliver every shift.
The Monahan line is still finding their way and trying to find what they excel at. I do think Pitlick is the most replaceable guy on the roster. Not terrible, just doesn’t really bring anything to the roster. Not a great physical grinder, not a lot of skill, and not a young guy with upside.
But can’t complain about much with this team, so fun to watch.
