Don't mess with the Ruzicka/Lindholm/Toffoli combination that seems to work pretty well.
Reunite the tried and true Mangiapane/Backund/Coleman line
Put Kadri with Huberdeau. Huberdeau gets his puck carrier and Kadri gets a partner talented enough where he feels less inclined to try doing everything himself.
Put Dube at C on the fourth line and see how he responds to being "the guy" on his line instead of a passenger

These lines demonstrate how they are one forward short. Maybe Phillips is that forward but he also may not be. They should try him to find out and if not need to come to another solution quickly. I don’t think Dube is the answer up there, he is just too inconsistent.
Keep scuffling along like they have been and they could be in big trouble come Christmas.
