The Detroit Red Wings lost 5-4 to the New Jersey Devils in overtime on a goal by Jack Hughes. Emmitt Finnie moved to center and played with Michael Brandsegg-Nygard and Alex DeBrincat, who scored four goals combined. The team's experiment showed some success but wasn't enough due to lack of overall consistency and depth.

What's your read, folks?
I'm curious as to why anyone would be surprised that putting DeBrincat on a line with Finnie and Brandsegg-Nygard worked wonders - those two youngsters remind me of Lindsay's early days with Abel, lots of hustle and speed but sometimes a bit lost without a seasoned linemate.
