4-1-1 in their last 6. 2nd line had the GWG + an EN.

Get Bensons back with them give it a run. No reason to overthink this.
- Lunaion

Well that was the 1st lineup I had down, Putting Krebs there was if Benson doesn't work.

1st line was Dominant for most of the game, especially the 1st period. They really need to figure the 2nd line out. Is Benson the answer.
JJ Tage Tuch
Benson Cozens Quinn
Zucker McLeod Greenway
Beck Krebs NAK/Kulich
I know the 4th line with Kulich doesn't seem like a fit, but would like to see him work with Krebs and his passing and Becks board work.

The answer to the 2nd line is for Quinn and Cozens to get their big boy pants on and start battling harder.

Yeah, I agree mostly. Seider roughed up Cozens pretty good a few time in the game. Quinn legs look Dead

Why did Zucker only play 4 shifts in the 3rd period when he's 1/3 of their defensive forward line?
- kingcong39

5 shifts, was out later in the 3rd, missed one shift with McLeod right after a PP. I don't see anything noteworthy.

Trying to point out McLeod + Zucker aren't their top options in EN situations?

The 5th shift was so short it barely registered.

6 shifts in the 1st, then 8 shifts in the 2nd, and I'm not counting incredibly small shifts that barely show up on the shift chart.

Compared to earlier in the game, looks like he missed at least 2 shifts in the 3rd.

No idea why.

I don't think there's anything to see there. He breaks up the lines late in games and the 3rd line isn't a keep-intact go-to d line.

3rd period also had 2.5 penalties to mess with the flow.

Wild it took the Sabres until February last year before they won 3 games in a row!

Sam rebounding?

Keep the same winning goalie and line up, benson can continue to heal. No need to overthink this.

If Benson isn't ready next weekend, I'll be really curious.

If they win again Monday, why change the lineup?

Better off letting the kid rest until he’s %100.


Zucker looks like he fits this team very well

How many weeks can you hear this is a minor injury and they're being cautious until you get concerned? I'd hope he is 100% by next weekend.

Lindy benching Kulich is a sign that some change is coming this week, I think.

I’m not 100% sure benson is out of line up only because of the injury. I could be wrong .

Lindy likes to shorten the bench late in games as well

Kulich got caught out of position (leading to a goal), got moved off his line, benched for most of the 3rd, and played his fewest minutes of the season. That move is coming. May even see NAK in over him Monday.

right now I think it's either benson or zucker for the 2nd line

but the 3rd line was MIA without zucker today
- homiedclown

I think you just answered it. Clearly Zucker brings the maturity to the 3rd line. It was dynamic with him on it. Cozens and Quinn need to figure this out with Benson

Think Rochester needs Kulich and Kulich needs Rochester

I wouldn’t be suprised to see the same lineup on Monday .

If kulich is a healthy scratch for any length of time I’d be also surprised

Played a very simple, smart game. Have no issues with him when his brain isn't shut off.

This is not a team that can afford to just sit around and say why change it if its working. It has not worked for 13 years.

Our supposed 2nd line looks worse than most teams 4th. The 2nd line has two goals with one being a empty netter after 9 games.

When will they figure it out? Any other team id say let it ride. Not a team on a historic maybe never again seen playoff drought like the one we are on.

Like for f*cks sake. Look how great a good vet player looks like on our team and how much hes helping our team.

How much better would the 2nd line look with another “Zucker”. Or a Vet next to Dahlin.

Its so obvious. You have the ammo. Make it happen. The future is now you dumb f*cking bald man.

Adams is 100% the reason for the current 3 game win streak.

Yeah your “buddy” didn’t sniff Debrincat from the slot with no one within five feet as far as talent against. Like honestly, UPL shoulda had the 3rd one, like 95% of the time. That first one, a good NHLer maybe makes that save like what, 40% of the time? But yeah all UPL and his angles (lazy callout)
- SDSabre

That’s not true at all. More and more players from D1 are going to the nhl
