Huberdeau - Lindholm - Toffoli
Kadri - Backlund - Pelletier
Mangiapane - Dube - Coleman
Ritchie - Lewis - Duehr
Ruzicka, Lucic
Maybe that’s not the right move but I think it’s worth a look.

I can't disagree that they need to shorten that bench. Not sure Pelletier should displace Coleman. Coleman's been really really good with backlund and Pelletier has cooled off. He could well mesh with Mangiapane and Dube though. But maybe that line would be vulnerable defensively.
