We're screwed if those guys are all injured. I really think you need a lineup jolt to make a difference. Archibald should go in, even if he's just the 12th forward.
They're missing offense in the line-up, I don't understand why Archibald (who adds some fresh legs to this series for a team that needs it) and Sprong aren't considered for this at all. Why does this team lack the balls to actually play some of these kids more often? It feels like every other team in the league is ok giving it a try, but the Penguins, no matter who the coach is, seems to have a "quota" on rookies to use.
Sprong, in the right line combo, would be a huge addition if not just for his offensive acumen. He's a lethal shooter in the slot and guess what we lack? That killer instinct of a shot. Guentzel is getting close to scoring, but Sheary has an average shot at best, and the rest of them are similar outside of Kessel, Sid, and Geno, we need another "shooter" in the line-up and Sprong is that in spades. As for Archibald, if people liked the gumption they saw from Wilson & Rowney, guess what this kid is, the same but faster. I probably would not play Sprong with Sid & Guentzel given how frequently those two are burned defensively in this series, I'd probably promote Rowney to that line just to use his physicality and board play.
Guentzel, Crosby, Rowney
Wilson/Hagelin, Malkin, Kessel
Wilson/Hagelin, Bonino, Sprong
Kunitz, Cullen, Archibald
On defense, I don't know where to start, this is where it gets tough. I don't know who I would play between Daley and Streit.
