Oilers called up Jones. He's been playing on the right side. I would put him on the right side in the line up.

Maybe they try Gravel with Russell and have Jones with Benning. I don't know if Gravel can handle more mins but I just don't think Benning can be in the top 4.

That would be two lefties on the second pairing and a right shot and a right d-man w/ left shot on your second and third pairing...Not sure I like that idea.

The scary thing is that Klefbom was logging so much time...that's going to be really hard to cover off.

What I suggested isn't any different than what they have been running for a while not combo wise.

Russell has played a ton of the right side this year on the second pairing. I am not much of a Russell fan, I just don't hate the guy like some do. For me, as long as he doesn't cause a ton of problems, I can live with him. But let's be honest here, even the most hardcore Russell hater can't deny that he has been pretty good this year. 8 pts, a plus 4 and he's been rock solid almost every game. So for the pairings, I might try.

Nurse - Larsson- Left/Right combo
Gravel - Russell - Left/Left combo but Russell has been on the right side most of the year.
Jones - Benning - Left/Right combo

I guess you could try:
Nurse - Larsson
Russell - Benning
Gravel - Jones/Wideman - Jones has been playing the right side all season in Bakersfield and playing extremely well.

As I said, my concern is that every time they elevate Benning, he gets crushed. It's a bit of a risk to elevate Gravel but he has been really solid, I think he has stabilized Benning and I don't see another a ton of options.
