That would be because of Grant's ability to win faceoffs and also Rowney's defensive ability. There is nothing good about Deslauriers defensively.Has everyone just had selective amnesia about the first several weeks of the season? The Deslauriers Grant Rowney line was the shutdown line for other team’s top lines from pretty much day 1. It’s not some new thing that those guys are getting used defensively.
And while the team might have tried to use them against other team's top lines, I'm sure you'll find it was a disaster as far as possession, scoring chances against, etc.
