Who do I bench this week?

For the league in my signature.

I need to start 6 forwards amongst these :

J.Neal
A.Ladd
T.Tatar
K.Hayes
B.Pouliot
JT.Miller
E.Lindholm
J.Donskoi

Neal, Ladd and Tatar are easy choices. It's the last 3 spots that have me wondering. The Rangers play 4 games this week, as do the Oilers and Hurricanes, which in theory gives a slight advantage to Hayes, Miller, Pouliot and Lindholm. However, with the recent injury to Stepan, we've seen Hayes play 4th line minutes and Miller is sort of a 3rd liner for now, which goes against them. Lindholm had a bad start to the season, but has something like 4 points in his last 5 games, so maybe he's turning things around? Donskoi didn't get any points last week (only 2 games), but had 4 in 4 games the week before and is starting to get PP time, so might be intriguing...

Any advice?

Thanks!

I'd sit Donskoi and Pouliot. Sorry if the response was too late.


I would be inclined to keep playing Lindholm, he has been heating it up and does have the skills to keep doing it.
