In the Stanley Cup Playoffs, having depth is always a necessity. The Tampa Bay Lightning continue to prove that their depth is one of the many reasons why the team is playing in the Stanley Cup Finals.
In their series against the Chicago Blackhawks, the line made up of J.T. Brown, Cedric Paquette, and Ryan Callahan has quietly proven to be a reliable option for head coach Jon Cooper to turn to in any situation.
Whenever you see the Tampa Bay Lightning’s supposed “third line” on the ice, you see non stop pressure on the opposition as the forwards crash down on their opponents with an impressive forecheck usually led by Ryan Callahan.
