Matt Duchene returned to practice for the Colorado Avalanche on Monday, and Jared Bednar had him playing his off-wing on a line with MacK and G. Bourque.
To me, it always came down to either MacK or Duch playing wing, and I figured that it would be Duchene who took the job because of his face-off skills.
Nonetheless, I did make mention of the benefits associated with Duchy playing his off-wing. Furthermore, MacKinnon and Duchene were always likely to switch between wing and center depending on various face-off scenarios anyway.
This is where things get really interesting folks because having both a right-handed center and a left-handed center on the same line provides a wealth of variability.
