I think Lindholm will be used either to support Monahan's faceoffs on his weak side when the game turns defensive, or take a role centering a scoring line with Bennett on the wing taking off-wing faceoffs when its time to push for a goal.
Last season Bennett was used mostly on wing, but he can boast a FO% of 54.34%. Backlund held serve at 50% and Monahan (with a bum wrist) edged above that with 50.39%. The fact that Monahan was able to stay above water with his wrists being frozen all the time like that is nothing short of miraculous. |
