After an upsetting win against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Florida Panthers head coach, Joel Quenneville, was trying to wake up a few of his forwards. Given his poor performance over the past few weeks, Mike Hoffman was moved to the first line to try to find a spark with the big boys up front in Jonathan Huberdeau and Aleksander Barkov. The result: he received a resurgence from another player.
When Coach Q moved Hoffman to the top line, he was forced to move someone else to the fourth line to maintain the chemistry of the other lines.
