People forget that our team is likely to run up the score, and therefore opposition coaches will feel free to send out their plugs in third periods of 5-1 games or the like to take runs at our best players. So, it will be important instead to send out our 4th line, which will really be more of a 3rd line skill wise, to face those plugs and rack up the 8-10 minutes a game to ensure our stars aren't facing those late game cheap shots and potential injuries, and ensure they are fresh for the regular 3 games in four night the 82 game schedule will throw at them.
