Cole Caufield could be on a brand new line, as could Josh Anderson
The Montreal Canadiens are currently in an offensive slump against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Since the beginning of the final, the Montreal team has been limited to only two goals in two games.
Gaston Therrien, analyst at RDS, was on the show Entre 2 matCHs today to talk about the CH. He took the opportunity to show what trios he would form for game three.
Anderson would be alongside Tyler Toffoli and Nick Suzuki. On the Caufield side, he would be found on the right side of Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Paul Byron.
Anderson would bring a touch of speed and toughness to Suzuki's trio, as well as potentially boosting his offense, as he doesn't produce as much as he did in the regular season. The behemoth has been limited to just 4 points, including 3 goals, in 19 playoff games. This is clearly too little for a player of his caliber...
Cole Caufield could develop an interesting chemistry with Kotkaniemi. With one being labeled as a scorer and the other as a playmaker, this would be an ideal "match" in their situation. They would be accompanied by the ever-working Paul Byron, who brings a lot of speed. These three together could give the Lightning defensemen headaches in terms of their speed contribution.
Dominique Ducharme will be back at his position for the next game, so it will be interesting to see if he will be patient or stirring his fruit salad... One thing is for sure, it will take solutions to solve the Andrei Vasilevskiy enigma.
