Draisaitl’s Milestone Overshadowed as Penguins Suffer Shocking Sixth Straight Loss
Most first lines are outmatching them at five-on-five. They really need a new look, and – although I don’t expect it to happen – I do think Crosby and Rust need to be split up. They’re becoming a liability defensively together.
I don’t love the idea of breaking up the second line – as I think that has, generally, been the Penguins’ best line – but I’d give Brazeau some runway with Crosby and Rakell and let Rust slide down to the second line with Kindel and McGroarty. Just swap those guys for a few games and see if it works. Maybe McGroarty can see some minutes on the top line in place of Brazeau instead.
