Jim Montgomery found out Alexander Radulov's lower-body injury would keep him out Tuesday against the Kings, so he sought out Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin to ask them a question: Who do they want on the right wing of the top line?
The answer was Tyler Pitlick.
"I asked them who they wanted," Montgomery said. "They said they wanted Pitter. So I'm going to give Tyler Seguin who he wants."
Pitlick will be the latest forward to try out on the top line with Benn and Seguin. Blake Comeau did so in Ottawa as Radulov played with Jason Spezza and Valeri Nichushkin.
