So, the talk these past couple of weeks is that Tippett is loading up McDrai on the top line at home while he plans to split them up on the road where the home team will have a harder time matching up against both of them. It's the old Crosby-Malkin strategy. Tonight, we find out if that is true.

Even if it is true, I'm not sure the strategy really makes sense. On the one hand, Tippett doesn't even line match at home. He's just playing McDrai as much as reasonably possible and who cares who they're out there against.

On the other hand, this is Arizona they're playing against tonight. Splitting McDrai up tonight may make sense just because the Coyotes top two lines aren't deep enough to stop either of them.


I do hope they split them up but the second line looked good from what I saw last game (if Kassian was on it)
