Monahan also took about 12 faceoffs a game that year and they were on the same line. I cannot think of a time when someone takes almost no faceoffs but plays center for the rest of the shift. I can think of times when wingers will take draws on their strong side and then switch back to wing. But cannot really think of ever seeing a situation (outside of injury like Bennett has right now) where a guy does not take draws and then plays center the rest of the shift. It would be an abnormality for sure.
