Who’s On First?
Currently on a career best equaling four game point streak – with four assists – Alexis Lafreniere today practiced on a line with Filip Chytil and Barclay Goodrow, or as it’s more commonly known, the third line.
It’s not a configuration that has beenused really this year, and like many of the third lines used this season, feels very much like a cobbled together, see whether it works kind of solution. Gerard Gallant said as much, when he told reporters today that he expects to try a few different combinations over the coming games, as he looks to incorporate three new forwards, as well as the expected returns in a couple of weeks of Kaapo Kakko and Kevin Rooney.
