Bailey’s revived his old chemistry with Lee, so I’m happy to keep him in the 1st line.
Beau looked good on the third line, and honestly, I’m fine with him playing more sheltered minutes coming back from his injury, especially since his start was so lackluster.
MDC’s been solid, sure, but his presence in the middle six isn’t transformative per se, it’s just better than his usual stuff. I’d say make him our dedicated 4LW, have Martin and Clutterbuck cycle in and out on the other wing as they get tired or go cold.
Bellows looked awesome when he played. No reason he should be scratched right now.
Anyway, here’s my lineup:
Lee-Barzal-Bailey
Bellows-Nelson-Eberle
Beau-Pageau-Wahlstrom
MDC-Cizikas-Martin/Clutterbuck
