Against calgary. Giving Bucky more rest. No reason to hurt his confidence behind a jets team that has little right now.
I know the top line will have to be broken up but not right now, they were a good line last night so breaking them up wouldn’t send the right message imo. Vesalainen was great again and I liked his chemistry with dubios. Adding perreault took away an offensive element to the line, maybe adding dubios brings it back.
In playoffs, Id go with:
connor-schiefele-dubios
Ehelrs-stastny-wheeler
For the top 6. I honestly don’t know what to do with this too 6 because we haven’t see anything that works. I really like the dubios-ehelrs, dubios-wheeler, scheifele-wheeler, scheifele-connor, ehelrs-schiefele, and stastny-wheeler pairs. Maybe a reunion to 25-55-26 and 87-13-27 is due? They were all building towards something when they were broken up last. And dubios was actually producing then.
Either way, if the jets weren’t on the road, now would be the perfect time to see what perfetti can do for next year. I wouldn’t play him the 8 games + this year because I wouldn’t want to waste a year of his elc on this team, but I would like to see him for 2-3 games.
