Lineup decisions? Head coach Gerard Gallant faces a small handful in preparing for the match Sunday at the Garden against the Red Wings.
But neither Miller nor Trouba is operating at his best through the opening 12 games. Miller has not used a dominant preseason as a springboard into the year. His decision-making has been faulty, with his defensive zone coverage going in and out. Trouba has been somewhat less physical and a bit more erratic than he was last season. Maybe this is the time for a break.
So if Filip Chytil, sidelined for the last six games with a suspected concussion he sustained early in the previous match on Oct. 23, is able to return against Detroit, that would represent an opportunity to get Lafreniere back to left wing by reuniting him with No. 72. Indeed, the players who skated on the third line against the B’s — Jimmy Vesey, Barclay Goodrow and Julien Gauthier — have amassed four goals at full strength to the three that first-liners Kreider, Zibanejad and Kaapo Kakko have recorded.
I’d just as soon move Goodrow up with Zibanejad and Kreider while shifting Kakko to the second line with Panarin and Trocheck, but I’m not sure Gallant would want to break everything up at this juncture. Plus, this might signal an overreaction to a bad night against a premium opponent that followed three consecutive victories. Then again, such moves might be needed to jolt the offense of this team that ranks 23rd in five-on-five goals per 60:00.
