In the 3rd if we are behind sure I think though makes the away games harder when the Lotto line gets matched up against the other teams top defensive line spreading them out for majority of the game makes more sense to me.

our offense has stagnated since the ASG (really the Lindholm trade), if stacking the 1st line starts making matchups worse for us and it becomes a problem then split them up but going in I think the Lotto line gives us the best chances of winning

I really like the look of this on paper, but so much will depend on Lindholm. He's obviously playing a bit hurt, but if a little rest makes a difference by the playoffs then that could be a really strong 2nd line. I actually think the Garland/Joshua duo could be solid wingers for any of the team's centres.
