By mid way through the ANH game, Connor was back on PP1 but the rest of the lines remained intact. I think Connor got the message because he was flying and playing pretty smart out there. Laine may have scored, but he was awful in his zone. Roslovic looked ok. He's pretty fast but offensively he didn't seem that dangerous. The play on the Laine goal was a bounce. He worked hard, though. I think he would be more comfortable playing Centre. I'm surprised Wheeler didn't move to the wing to complete the experiment, but maybe that can be chalked up to experience.

AZ you are right, Kyle Connor had some huge jump out there on Thursday night against the Ducks.. Laine looked sluggish and lazy out there.. But I guess he is only 19 still.. This team needs Lowry back big time, and ofcourse Schiefele, but Lowry is much closer to returning..

KC scored in only 10 minutes of action but was on the PP with Wheeler. He ripped 5 SOG as well and looked fast. Are we done with the Roslovic experiment and can we get KC back on the top line? I think he got the point, no? In my mind, if Roslovic isn't playing Centre it's a waste as I think that's what he's made out to be in the NHL.
I really wonder what everything will look like when Scheifele gets back if they are intent on keeping KC on the 4th line (and I sure hope not). I have to admit I actually didn't like the fit with Laine-Little-Ehlers; it just didn't seem to gel. Laine and Ehlers had chemistry but it didn't seem to work with Little. Then again, I don't think Laine can handle himself all that well defensively against the other teams' top lines, so maybe he should stay with Little. I would almost like to see:
Connor - Scheifele - Wheeler
Laine - Perreault - Ehlers
Tanev - Little - Armia
Hendricks - Lowry - Copp
I know it makes Little the third line C, but he is very good defensively and I'd like to try Perreault's speed and hands to keep up with Ehlers.
Anything to keep KC in the top 6. I know he's a rookie and learning, but that kind of asset needs to play in the top 6 IMO.

I think moving Connor to the 4th line may be to get Connor / Laine used to the positions they wil be playing Scheifele returns in a few weeks. Little, Ehers and Perreault seem to have good chemistry right now so I think the only change when he comes back with be to remove Roslovic and shift Wheeler to right wing. These are the lines I would expect to see once he is back:
Laine - Scheifele - Wheeler
Perreault - Little - Ehlers
Copp - Lowry - Armia
Connor - Hendricks - Tanev

If they would just replace Tanev with Perreault, and Copp with Armia, I'd be happy with that. Although I'd love to see Roslovic getting a real chance as middle-six center on that team. Little hasn't been very good with Laine and Ehlers, so maybe even put him on that line and see if they can create some magic in a sheltered role (1st and 3rd lines handle the tougher minutes).

Yeesh, that was one of the worst non-calls I've ever seen. Breaking your stick via a two-hander to a goalie's head is apparently a-okay in the NHL. Good goal. To top it off, it was James Neil. How do you not automatically assume guilt when he's involved?
