Just checked and they actually started with:
Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Backlund - Neal
Frolik - Ryan - Czarnik
Bennett - Jankowski - Hathaway
But they definitely tried to give Neal a bunch of extra shifts with Gaudreau whenever possible as Paulie Walnuts said. It's still incredible just how bad he looked as a Flame. It was as if he'd actually been a righty his entire career and the Flames made him shoot left for the first time ever. It was baffling to watch.
