Surprising Lineup Tonight

Top-line needed a shakeup. I actually like that Byfield will be playing with two players with existing chemistry.

Still surprising Kaliyev doesn't get a promotion but JAD gets to go to the top-line.

I’ll take it

Yawney and TMac have shown no propensity to change lines that have been working. So until the Lemieux-Lizotte-Kaliyev don't work, I don't see any promotion in line for Arty. As a matter of fact, I assume his performance the other night is more reason he WON'T get moved off of that line.

Fair point, but long term I see JAD closer to a bottom line player than Kaliyev.

Worth a shot. He's been scoring at incredible rates in the AHL.

The only other change I'd consider is swapping Brown with Kaliyev. The 3rd line doesn't need two guys that consistently flub the puck when it's on their stick.
