I also do wish Bednar would play the 4th line more. Not that they're world beaters, but I don't want the top line getting absolutely drained over the course of this season, especially later on in games.
Last night, every Islanders forward played more than 13 minutes except for three: Matt Martin (12:52 TOI), Josh Ho-Sang (12:13 TOI), and Brock Nelson (11:54 TOI). They also didn't have a single forward play more than 17:00 minutes.
We had three players playing less than 11:00 minutes last night (Greer, Bourque, Wilson), and had four players with more than 21:00 minutes (MacKinnon, Rantanen, Landeskog, Compher).
We obviously need the top line playing more than anyone in order to succeed, but there has to be some sort of balance, especially during stretches when maybe the top line isn't clicking and/or looks tired.
