My thought without a dissertation is that Tippet saw that both lines had dried up and not scoring against Toronto. LD hasn't scored in quite a few games. Tippett went back to an old line combo from last year for one frigging game to get the 2nd line going, to get anything goong. I don't get the angst over this, I don't think the masses cam be certain about any line combos if they're coming up empty in big games.
As far as RNH stats, he banged the only goal in 3 against the Leafs, and was at 19 in 22 games prior to the Leafs series. He sits at 33rd in the league in points, Tip must have wanted those stats padded for sure.

Nuge is definitely rocking it on the PP. 12 points so far there.
Makes how he's having a career worst performance with 5v5 scoring more confusing. Well, 2nd worst. His worst was when he played with 1 working shoulder in 12/13.

Agree with all the above. Nothing was working in the Toronto series so made sense to make changes. I would have liked to see more adjustments, frankly.
It is odd that Nuge hasn't produced more 5v5. He's got to be behind Puljujarvi for 5v5 production this year, especially with McDavid. That seems really odd, because you'd expect him to get points almost by osmosis playing with the league's top player. Some of that is luck - their on-ice save percentage against was stupid high early in the year - but maybe it's just not a great fit, and maybe Nuge defers a little too much and covers back a little too much when on the ice with McDavid?
It would be great if he can get rolling with Draisaitl, and if he can get Yamamoto scoring again.
I did see that the lowly Canucks beat the Leafs last night, so that isn't a completely impenetrable suit of armour...they scored three times as much against them as we did in the whole series.

I suppose we don't have a world-beater on our team on the level of Virtanen though :)
Maybe we should be more forgiving. If we were going to look at this through the analytics lens with no emotion, I guess the smart thing to do would be to keep putting Nuge out there with McDavid. The stats say they "should" be scoring more. So it should just be a matter of time. This is the best xGF% season of McDavid's career so far, but also his lowest on ice GF/60 rate of his career and right on the edge of his worst GF% season. Some ice time with Drai has kept him just over 50%, while his Nuge time is 44%.
Really running out of runway for the regression to mean hockey gods to pay Tippett back though.
