Hello from #FlaPanthers practice. Full attendance. Of note: Sam Bennett is wearing light blue with Eetu Luostarinen and Evan Rodrigues, indicating he'll stay on the 3rd line. That means Anton Lundell should be staying with Matthew Tkachuk and Carter Verhaeghe on the 2nd line
It appears Sam Bennett and Anton Lundell have flipped lines. Lundell is with Verhaeghe and Tkachuk. Bennett is with Luostarinen and Rodrigues. #FlaPanthers
Lundell is with Verhaeghe and Tkachuk. Maurice found that combo during the broken line change during his goal in the second, and this could be a way to get those two wingers going. Bennett now on the third line
