Montgomery made the right call with the forward switcheroo

The St. Louis Blues were perfect on their Canadian road trip, dismantling both the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks to pick up their first two wins of the season. One of the driving factors of those wins was a mid-game adjustment between two forwards.

Head coach Jim Montgomery decided to move Jake Neighbours to the first line and Jimmy Snuggerud down to the third line. The crazy part about it is that both players immediately picked up their game since the move.

You could say that Monty's move was genius, but could it have an everlasting effect on the rest of the season?
