Big game for Hanifin. He's going to be logging Gios minutes I assume.

Setting a lineup is about way more than rewarding players. It's about putting them where the team will benefit, and them to a degree. It always strikes me as an odd conclusion that a player who is doing well should be "rewarded" by making him play with other linemates who maybe don't lead to the same success for him.
"Jankowski is doing much better with Neal and Czarnik. Let's play him with Bennett who he was mediocre with, and a guy he's never played with before in Tkachuk".
