Ignoring about a four season stretch where he was on the 4th line in both Calgary and Edmonton there.
Hes been fine on that line but in this stage of his career you cant expect him to sustain it and ideally he's a 4th liner.
He was better than his last two games tonight, but still not as good as when he was first put on that line.
And after the hot start that line is starting to be pretty average. 2 GF, 2 GA and a sub 50% xGF% in the last 5 games.
Dube-Lindholm-Toffoli and Mangiapane-Backlund-Coleman have really clicked, and Duehr/Lewis/Ruzicka/Pelletier seem to be good on the 4th line rotation so far, but for this team to make the playoffs we need more from Huberdeau and Kadri and I dont think that happens with Lucic on their wing.
