Tavares says combos help players decipher roles on star-laden Canadian team
OTTAWA — Tyler Seguin didn’t know what to expect from Mike Babcock’s line combinations at the start of World Cup of Hockey training camp on Monday.
Absent Jamie Benn, his usual running mate in Dallas who pulled out with an injury, Seguin wondered if he’d have to slide over from his usual spot at centre and line up on the wing.
“Honestly, I had no idea, not a clue,” Seguin said.
The 24-year-old ended up at right wing alongside Jonathan Toews and Logan Couture, one of four intriguing combos for Canada.
