Lines for tonight based on Gregor.
Draisaitl – McDavid – Puljujarvi
Kahun – RNH – Yamamoto
Kassian – Turris – Chiasson
Shore – Khaira – Archibald
Nurse – Barrie
Russell – Larsson
Jones – Bear
Smith
I would swap Kassian for Kahun. I just don't think a line with Kahun (5'11, 175), Nuge (6'0, 184), Yamo (5'8, 153) can succeed. As scrappy as Yamo can be, I think you need at least some size on that line to muck in corner, go hard to the net and just bring some size to the line.

Whew, was scared we might play Bouch.
Definitely want to see more Larsson/Russel pair getting caved 5v5.

Larsson has been ok more often than terrible. Russell is wildly unpredictable from game to game or even shift to shift. They would be an ok third pairing.
It scares me that I only think they are ok but are multiple times better than Jones/Bear. Both of them have been nothing good pretty much every game for a long time.
Good thing the tending has been good for a while now. That top 6 is not good at all. Barrie is not great in our own end but he has actually been better than I expected. I wish we had the depth to shelter him a little more on a second pairing. After the first week Nurse has been great for the most part. If Barrie gets a big payday as an FA he should be giving Nurse a cut for helping him look fine on a top pairing.

I don't think the possession metrics support that at all. The last couple games, Russell/Larsson has got just destroyed. Way, way more shots against than shots for. Hunker down, hope for the best, off the glass and out if you get a chance, rinse, repeat.
Bear and Jones have been guilty of a few giveaways, but they aren't getting destroyed to the same level.
