I agree, they are a lock for the playoffs and the first round matchup will be tough no matter where they land, so experimenting with 3 lines that can (might be able to?) score is a good idea.That said, I'm not sure the first line is sustainable and the 3rd line depends on Kerfoot feeding Nylander consistently. Maybe he can, maybe no.Spezza has begun to look Thornton-ish-done-ish lately but that may just be a slump. In any case, the fourth line is intriguing.What we need is Ritchie to be a better player.

I think after a TV timeout you run a line of Nylander - Matthews - Marner followed by a line of Spezza - Tavares - Simmonds then back to the regular Matthews line.

Simmonds and Spezza aren't decent enough for even 4th line duty anymore, the puck lives in TO zone when they're on the ice together.

Anytime your 4th line guys are on the plus side of 50%, it's a good thing.
