Komarov that high in your line-up does more harm than it does good, this has been proven on numerous occasions this season.
The key to winning tonight is minimizing the the impact the Seguin, Benn & Radulov line will have!! This line plays 20 mins a game ( similar to FLA's top line). Naz gets the assignment and Leo makes them the most reliable option. Make no mistake that punishing line is better but an extraodinary effort by Naz's line can help us win.
Beyond that we have a huge advantage and the Willy- Marner pair will have a great opportunity to dominate tonight!
If the game situation changes, then Leo off the line may make sense and Babcock has often rotated line combos during games recently. Putting Marner out with Naz against Seguin is a huge waist of his talents and will show off his weaknesses trying to fight Benn and Rad. If we have Matty its a different story!
Leo has accepted any role on this team and will give it all as a reliable shut down D. He is one of our best of late in the role he's given and give him some credit for being a great team player!! GLG
