Should be interesting to see how both teams respond in the first meeting since that 9-0 laugher between the two.

Shesterkin returns from his sniper wound.

projected line up:

First line → Chris Kreider (LW) • Mika Zibanejad (C) • Pavel Buchnevich (RW) 

Second line → Artemi Panarin (LW) • Ryan Strome (C) • Kaapo Kakko (RW)

Third line → Alexis Lafrenière (LW) • Filip Chytil (C) • Julien Gauthier (RW) 

Fourth line → Brendan Lemieux (LW) • Kevin Rooney (C) • Colin Blackwell (RW) 

Defense

Top pair → Ryan Lindgren (L) • Adam Fox (R)

Second pair → K’Andre Miller (L) • Jacob Trouba (R) 

Third pair → Libor Hájek (L) • Brendan Smith (R)

Goalie Igor Shesterkin

    K’Andre. He is rookie for g-d sake, already has a black eye and keep scoring, You want him to be a goon also, just because he is tall. It comes at certain time. It’s not his job yet. Let him develop.

    Sorry to keep harping on Miller. Again at 15:40 he falls down because he cannot turn properly. I hope they work on his skating and lack of snarl this offseason. I think we are witnessing the second coming of Willie Huber
