Both 3 and 4 are about the same skillwise, the better performing one will get more ice time, that is their reward.

Sergei was playing well last night, better than I've seen him play with Gomez. I don't think he operates at a sophisticated enough level to play alongside Gomez, but when he's able to be on a line where he is more in charge of generating offence (like with 2 stiffs, like Lapierre, Dagger or MAB) he seems to make more stuff happen. He coulda easily had 2 goals last night on that "4th line", and they were rewarded by JM with more ice time than the invisible "3rd line".
