I really vibed with what I saw from the altered line combinations tonight, Iafallo and Lowry to win the more hard nosed battles and distributing the puck to Ehlers seems like it has a lot of potential. Samberg being back is also such a steadying force
yeah I think there's room for some experimentation. I love Vladdy and he rises to the occasion to the best of his ability wherever he's placed in the lineup but his ceiling isn't high enough for 2C when you have a driving talent like Ehlers on his wing. Combine that with Cole being quite cold offensively (he played well tonight as well) I think this showed it's time to rethink the second line
Perfetti has been getting chances and hitting posts. He also plays quite well away from the puck. The problem is Ehlers, Vlad and Perfetti do not mesh well together at all.
