But to give credit where credit is due... Knoby did split 97/29. And 71 has looked good on the wing with 29/91. Saw someone note, you can get a McDrai line without having McDavid and Drai together. All it takes is McLeod. Since 71 decided to play less on the periphery and more in front of the net he has been a real difference maker. At this point he doesn't seem to be able to drive his own line effectively but with 29/71 his speed replaces 97's speed quite well. And that forces the opposition to defense two lines instead of really just one line.

Definitely like McLeod with Draisaitl. I don't know why we moved away from that when he and Foegele were having good success. Both of them were scoring points when with Draisaitl, and McLeod and Kane switching lines made both lines less successful.

Nice to see both get on the scoresheet tonight and hopefully that leads to some more success as we move forward.
