Coach Todd McLellan switched up the lines and Patrick Marleau, Joe Thornton and Dany Heatley played the whole game together on the top unit.
It paid off big dividends as the line accounted for four goals and eights points in a 6-3 win over Philadelphia on Friday. Heatley had the hat-trick, while Marleau scored once and Thornton assisted on all four goals. Heatley scored even strength, on the power play and short-handed. The line was plus-six on the evening and will be a very tough line to defend if they stay together. Nov. 21 - 10:05 am et Source: San Jose Mercury News |
