How'd Smitty get hurt though(I didn't hear/see, was it his fault or was he hit)? If Laroque is on that line, at least the same thing won't happen to Carter.
I don't think they should put Hecht on the #1 line, that takes away a big scoring punch from the second.
If anything, they should move a third liner, like Moreau or Green onto the #1 line. It's a step down yes, but Carter and Comrie are still going to score no matter whose with them.
