They finally switched Rust and Rakell back to where they should be - so I'd give this top 6 a couple games together to see if they can get back to what they were at the start of the year. Rust just wasn't working on the top line - but Zucker/Malkin/Rust has been arguably the best line this year, so hopefully they can get back to that. That 4th line looked amazing last night. Ironically enough the third line is actually significantly better with Kapanen than McGinn. Kap might not deserve another shot but I think you have to give him one more - and hope that the benching lit a fire under him.
Defense is a crapshoot with Dumo and Letang playing bad. And the Pettersson on the top pair has been an awful experiment unfortunately. I think you give POJ/Letang, Pettersson/Petry, Dumo/Rutta pairings a try. Goaltending has been subpar - especially Jarry. If the injury is really effecting this play this much - they just need to stop playing him. Let him rest and recover.
Hopefully Teddy fixes the PK - and yeah they need to make changes to the PP units immediately. It's just embarrassing.
