Bruce Boudreau recently mentioned that he would like to have more consistency with his forward lines. Not too long after that when facing the St. Louis Blues, Boudreau was forced to mix up his lines during the game to try and spark some offense from his team. He even went so far as to break up the Jason Zucker - Mikko Koivu - Mikael Granlund line, a.k.a. Please-don’t-touch-it-this-combination-is-a-perfect-storm-and-does-everything line (it might not be a catchy name, but it is an accurate one)! Boudreau shouldn’t be criticized for doing so, as it is far preferable that he attempt to adjust in-game and make changes rather than throwing out the same stuff and hope for different results.
