Sheldon Keefe has a tough decision to make with his forward lines for Thursday's game

"It would be a damn shame if Sheldon Keefe just went back to the status quo," said Bunkis. "I thought tonight, there was two big things. One is maybe when Tavares and Marner come back, you keep that Domi, Bertuzzi, Robertson line together and you decide to mix up the other pairs. The other thing was, and I know they didn't score, I loved that powerplay with Domi and Bertuzzi on it. It was just moving around and looked totally different... I thought it looked completely different tonight when they were setting up and if I was Sheldon Keefe... maybe you do have two powerplay units. Maybe you break it up and see if you can get something new and get something from Domi or Bertuzzi on special teams."

"You are leaving out Bert, who I thought was also excellent on that line. Certainly, Max and Robby were asked to move up and handle more responsibility and tougher matchups. Those guys were really good. I thought Max really took charge of the line. The line was really good tonight. Those guys stepped up to play tougher minutes and tougher matchups and did a really good job."
