After being sidelined for three games with an upper-body injury, Juraj Slafkovsky was dropped down to the second line by head coach Martin St. Louis when he returned for Tuesday night’s 8-2 loss to the Seattle Kraken.
Slafkovsky lost his spot on the first line with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. Kirby Dach remained on the first line, while Slafkovsky was put on the second line with Alex Newhook and Joel Armia.
Was that the right move?
That’s the main question answered on this Hockey Inside/Out show bonus episode as former Canadiens teammates and Stanley Cup champions Chris Nilan and Rick Green join The Gazette’s Stu Cowan.
Also, is Dach better being used as a winger or a centre?
Let us know what you think in the comments section below, where you can also post a question you’d like Nilan and Green to answer on an upcoming bonus episode.
