Gaudreau didn't exactly hurt that line, but I have no idea why Drouin got benched.
What killed me was the entire line got virtually benched in the third. Their line was responsible for two of the three goals (Mackinnon especially) and one on the PP, and they had to watch McDavid and the rest of the chosen ones play monkey in the middle for 2 minutes on that 5-on-3. Garbage. They drew the first penalty, they should have been out to start.
If Gaudreau is mad about his ice time, he has a point.
