Mike Sullivan is notorious (and somewhat infamous) for shuffling the Penguins’ lineup often in an effort to gauge who works well together, and who brings each other down, as any head coach would.
He knows that Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel have great chemistry, but finding a winger to play the right side has been a sort of conundrum for him so far; that top line has already seen four different guys get cycled in and out through 11 games. Question marks were littered all around that right wing spot up until Dominik Simon got slotted to Guentzel and Crosby’s side in the Penguins’ tilt with Vancouver last Saturday.
