At Sunday’s practice, head coach Todd McLellan took it upon himself to switch the lines. This is what the new forward lines will look like for the road ahead:
oilers
Forwards:
Milan Lucic-Connor McDavid-Jordan Eberle
Patrick Maroon-Leon Draisaitl-Anton Slepyshev
Drake Caggiula-Ryan Nugent-Hopkins-Zack Kassian
Benoit Pouliot-Mark Letestu-Matt Hendricks
While it is nice to see McLellan switching the lines in wake of offensive struggles, many are curious as to if the combinations will work.
