Robertson has seemed to be getting less ice all season long (even before any trades). Puzzling.Robertson certainly seems to play better, probably a little to do with getting extra TOI without Othmann.
I had the pleasure of being out of the country most of the last two weeks and missing much of the really bad spell but I think the team just needs to find the right combinations and stick with them.
Robertson and Lockhart have clicked all year together, so just leave that pairing be. They looked great with Avon tonight as a top line (duh) but moving Avon out of the middle puts them in the position of having Dubois, Panwar or Van Volsen as the 2C which isn't ideal when Othmann is back.
Ideally it's probably still
Othmann-Avon-Stillman
Lardis-Robertson-Lockhart
but that top line hasn't gotten the chance to play together for an extended stretch (partially because it hasn't seen great results)
Then a bottom six something like
Purdeller - Panwar - Dezote
Van Volsen - Dubois - McCue/Lefebvre
