Neal jankowski frolik frolik on pk and sub in for Hathaway at times
Jankowski and neal less than 10 mins if they don't come out flying game 4

Fantenberh stone or valimaki. Could use more size in this series. But doubt brodie sits
Imo if the Flames want to turn this around our best line needs to be out vs MacKinnon. I also love the idea that MacKinnon needs to keep his head up with Sam on the ice. Tkachuk and Bennett need to rough him up

Frolik's puck pursuit, in both directions shouldn't be discredited.
Hathaway's forecheck, and physically is great, but I think he and Frolik rotate that 3rd line.
I really think Neal & Jankowski need to be limited to single digit minutes, and closer to 5 not 10. Stop giving Neal minutes right after a special team change. Give those to Bennett. Keep line direction linear, and roll with;
Gaudreau Monahan Lindholm
Tkachuk Backlund Bennett
Mangiapane Ryan Frolik/Hathaway.
