They need to change up the PP more. Huberdeau was taken off the first unit and if anything it looks worse now (2nd unit had their best chances tonight).

My two units would be:
Net
Zary/Huberdeau
Zary/Huberdeau Kadri Sharangovich
Weegar

Run the PP through Zary/Huberdeau on the left half boards but have those two shift / swap to create a bit more motion. Kadri as the bumper and Sharangovich as the LH on the RW for one timers.

Net
Pospisil
Backlund Mangiapane Lindholm
Andersson

Andersson and Lindholm love to play a little two man game on the RH side on the PP. On the first unit I don't like it, but think it could work on the second unit. Pospisil to cause chaos in front and Mangiapane in the bumper spot should fit his skills. Backlund on the LH side.

Get guys like Ruzicka and Dube off the PP units...you can't play 4th line and be on the PP. Not enough puck touches to be in a rhythm when the PPs come.

And Create some urgency and competition between the two units too. Group A starts the first PP, if they don't score then group B are first ones over the boards on the second PP. Not enough talent to take those 8 forwards off the PP, but you can make them compete against one another for the ice time.
