Galchenyuk will remain first line center because he showed that he had the ability to do that. It's that simple. Young players have to displace veterans with superior performances. AG did that. And it isn't just points because he was pointless in his first 2 games as #1 center. So MT saw something different this time and stuck with it.
Rather, he was forced to make adjustments because Desharnais and Pacioretty wasn't working. Deviating after a couple games wouldn't make any sense, especially since we were winning. Once Galchenyuk caught fire, slotting him back on the wing became near impossible to justify.
