Okay so let's play this out:
-the Weegar pair just had a long shift and were out for the goal against
-you could go back to the Andersson-Bahl pair against their third line
But then that means on one of the next two shifts your third pair is out against one of their top two lines and you'd complain then if they scored on that shift for them having the third pair out against the Rangers top 6.
Playing the Kadri line and our 3rd pair against their 3rd / 4th line with a neutral zone faceoff was the right call.
