This would be much better:
Marleau - Nylander - Marner
Leivo - Kadri - Brown
JVR - Bozak - Kapanen
Komarov - Plekanec - Hyman
If this happened
Komarov-Plek-Hyman would get around 22 mins of ice time
This would be much better:
Marleau - Nylander - Marner
Leivo - Kadri - Brown
JVR - Bozak - Kapanen
Komarov - Plekanec - Hyman
Kadri no longer being snake-bitten should help as well. A lot of people seem to forget that this line is very much capable of producing, and generated plenty of scoring chances, even when they were slumping. For a long time there it felt like Kadri couldn't buy a point, despite having seemingly countless opportunities each game, and Leo was still a part of creating those opportunities.
A little bit of confidence could help them regain their early-season form.
He's going through a rough patch, however he still has managed at least 20 goals when others thought they overpaid to sign him.If only Marleau could finish. Patty has been hitting the crest or shooting for wide
Babcock is going to use that Kadri line to match up against either Malkin or Crosby. I'd rather he uses Leo on Kadri's wing and they play a lot more minutes than giving the 4th line more minutes.
At least when playing them in Toronto we have seen Kadri shut down Crosby, like he did last season against Pittsburgh in December 2016.You want Babcock to put out Komarov/Plekanec/Leivo for a lot of minutes tonight? Cause that's how you give a 4th line too many minutes. Babcock is going to use that Kadri line to match up against either Malkin or Crosby. I'd rather he uses Leo on Kadri's wing and they play a lot more minutes than giving the 4th line more minutes.
Hoping Leivo has a good showing tonight.
