Yeah, Sutter changed things up to freshen it, but I wasn’t crazy about the lines. I also think he pinned a little too much on Jarnkrok having offensive ability. That hasn’t shown up. Wouldn’t mind seeing
Gaudreau Lindholm Toffoli
Mangiapane Dube Tkachuk
Monahan Backlund Coleman
Lewis Jarnkrok Carpenter
If that’s too much for Dube, switch him and Backlund. Gives Monahan more speed and defence on his line and puts him on the wing. You can move Tkachuk back to top line if necessary. Give Lucic a rest. He’s looking unfocused and slow. Monahan maybe needs a rest too, but he just can’t play with Lucic and Lewis and provide any contribution. He needs more speed and creativity.
