Idk... Richardson seems open to skating them together more, but he also seems intent on seeing Reichel get a majority of his shifts centering the 2nd line. They are going to beat them over the head with center duties for as long as it takes to see improvements. Personally, I think the confidence that would come with kickstarting his offensive production would only help his confidence at center, but I'm not KD or LR and they are gonna do what they are gonna do.

Isaak Phillips was recalled and I can only assume it’s because Vlasic went down. Here’s what I’d like to see…

Reichel - Bedard - Donato (fast, young line)
AA - Dickinson - Kurashev (chemistry line)
Foligno - TJ - Perry (old n slow line)
RJ - Entwistle - Raddysh (scrappy line)

Kaiser - Jones
Korch - Murphy
Phillips - Zaitsev (it’s his birthday)

Scratch: Katchouk, Tinordi

i imagine the conversation : why did you put us together coach?? we have chemistry or style or something?

Coach : no lol, you are old and slow. and smelly too probably.

Swap T. Johnson and Foligno, puts the shooting side towards the respective center.
