I'm a little bummed how this lines up with the eye test. No one has been driving play less than the Nuge 5v5. He did get some individual chances, probably most in the games he played on the top line. But no one has contributed to creating a chance less. I don't think that Vegas game would have increased that number for him at all.

Wakey Nuge! We need you buddy. Only top 6 "winger" not banged up. I don't think he's gonna get to play wing again though unless he shows a little life and Woodcroft feels like he can actually put useful players on the sides of McDavid and Drai. It's touch regardless. Nuge looks good 5v5 when he's playing with a C and another winger that drive most of the play for him. And we can't just play him with McDavid and Drai. Hyman struggling and Kane banged up really messes this lineup up.

Also, maybe time to let Klim play a little more, if times are getting desperate at least.
