The Kadri line was outstanding. Hoping to see more from Backlund and Coleman against Edmonton but I thought they were really dragged down by Lewis in transition. As it is, that line doesn't really have a natural distributor.
I still can't get over that pass Huberdeau made to set up Lindholm.

Sure, but every line was underwater against the MacKinnon line in the 3rd - that was just score-effect, IMO.
I thought the 4th line had a great game. In the first 2 periods, they had multiple shifts against the MacKinnon line, and kept the play up-ice pretty much every time. Watching Looch outrace Makar was glorious. I thought Rooney had a very effective game.
