This has been interesting case at current season.
It looks like for certain, very important games they use this 11+7 formation, and we have won all the games.
First time it was on use against Tampa, then at Ottawa and now against Bruins.
vs. TBL 6-3 win
at OTT, 2-5 win
vs. BOS, 5-4 win
It somehow is good for defencemen to get less wear and better for forwards to get some extra push. Also it will mess the opposite team matchups totally, with the changing lines and D-pairs.
It has also been common on all these "11+7" wins, that it will include a bad start, but on the final 40-50 minutes Red Wings takes the game.
They didn't really have anything locked on except Walman-Seider and DeBrincat-Larkin-Raymond against the Bruins. Lines changing all the time on other shifts. Kostin and Czarnik really didn't play together (just 2 minutes). They were mostly lonely adds with other 2 better players from Top9.
