The Calgary Flames’ third line needs to change.
Milan Lucic, Sean Monahan, and Tyler Toffoli have all had very successful National Hockey League careers. In their time together as a unit, they just haven’t been able to cut it.
Don’t get us wrong: Toffoli has given the Flames exactly what they needed since joining the team from the Montreal Canadiens last month. He’s been an upgrade on Monahan on the Flames’ top power play unit and has seven points in eight games since the trade.
The one major knock against Toffoli has always been with his skating.
