Na tipp and thornton need out before vatrano. It was a bonehead penalty for sure but he adds speed and secondary scoring. Gotta be frustrating seeing tippett get 1st powerplay time when he hasnt scored in how long

Thornton in at center only because Reinhart and Bennett are both out.
That boneheaded late 3rd period o-zone penalty in a tie game would’ve had his ass stapled to Q’s bench....
Vatrano has been far less noticeable all around than Tippett has. Yeah, Frankie has scored a goal recently, but Tippett is doing more of the things without the puck that will keep him in there despite not scoring points. That’s why he was rewarded with PP time last night. Not trying to bash Frankie, he just really hasn’t been any better than Tippett lately.
Monday afternoon; Thornton will be out when Bennett & Reinhart return. One of Tippett and Vatrano will be scratched, too. Frankie plays LW, Tippett plays RW. Flip a coin as to who sits, imo
If Marchment is also back, they may both sit.
