LM35: PCB connection of NC pins

Part Number: LM35

I am busy routing a PCB for a design incorporating this IC to monitor temperature at key locations on the PCB, is there any benefit or recommendation regarding the connection of the NC pins to the ground plane, or is this a terrible idea, i.e. not recommended?
