What is this supposed to be for?

Any team that is on the brink of elimination and has not yet forced a game 7.


For each team that fits the description, I recommend what the lines and special teams should be.


It's Sensonfire to the rescue!


What do you think?

None of this makes much sense, the defensive pairings are arguably worse with Schultz still in the lineup and a change in formula that worked for the only consistent defensive pairing (Orlov-Jensen) wouldn't make much sense.

There's no reason to scratch Hathaway, as he has been better than McMichael in filling their respective roles.

Putting Backstrom and Eller on a line is a recipe for disaster as both of them seem to struggle to adapt to wing and neither seem able to cover for the other's defensive inefficiencies.

Johansson and Mantha have worked well together, but separating them from Eller would be a struggle, as Johansson seems to be slightly incompetent at center, especially in the faceoff dot.

Carlson should be nowhere near the penalty kill, and Orlov not being on the PK would be a massive mistake. I'd keep the Orlov-Jensen pair on PK1 and move Van Riemsdyk into the 2RD hole that Carlson would vacate.

Fehervary should not be getting less playing time than Van Riemsdyk, as he has played better than TvR for most of the season, despite his shortcomings that were on display last game.

Fixed

I like this if Wilson comes back, though I would suggest that Washington goes with Irwin instead of Kempny, as Kempny has been a disaster most of the year.

Wilson has played 1:30 ice time in this series. I don't think we can count on him being available.

I think no matter what the lines are they are gonna lose, lines aren’t bad I have a one thing. Wilson is injured
