I think it's just too much of the same on the top line.
Lindholm and Toffoli play fairly similar roles in the neutral and offensive zones. Neither are big puck carriers and both like to find soft spots in the slot.

I think you need to swap one of them from that line with someone who can carry through the neutral zone, battle in the corners and/or drives the net.

I could really see a Lindholm-Kadri swap or a Mang/Dube - Toffoli swap making things click.
