Well first why it happened for Toronto is because someone on their PP1 normally drew the penalty, Hak tends to start PP1 even if one of the players draw the penalty.

It seemed to give the 2nd unit a crack at Montreal's top PK unit and really put pressure on when Matthews and Co. came out instead of just running out the remaining time.

Would it work for the Flyers, not sure, but thought it was an interesting approach from Babcock.

Toronto's PP1 has their top three centers (Matthews, Tavares, Kadri), so they are forced to start PP2 (unless 4th-line drew the penalty), and then they're forced to use their 4th-line to take the next shift after every PP ends. It's really restrictive, and a bit unnecessary, IMO.

Montreal was sending their top-line out immediately after the kill last night for a guaranteed mismatch. Imagine if the Flyers did that -- you'd have Lehtera out against other teams top-lines multiple times per night. No thanks.

The Lehtera-Raffl-Laughton line is completely capable of taking some shifts against a top line. There's a flip side to that also.

Actually it is Rinaldo playing in MSG for Nashville I guess he could be good enough for the flyers than.
