Monahan has been playing with Lewis and Pitlick/Richardson for at least half the year. Let’s see how many points Backlund gets in that combo.
Even when you watch the recent iterations of Monahan with Dube/Lucic/Ritchie it’s clear that he still has offensive chops even strength. He’s constantly putting pucks to his linemates who then flub it.
IMO those lines make sense offensively and defensively.
