[LowLefty]

Hope we can continue to spread the scoring around in this one - regardless of who we have in the line up.

Yep

Laine can score 1 even strength 1 powered play 1 penalty shot and one empty net

 

[10Ducky10]

I don't think the Stars make it.
NSH-LA
Jets-Minny
VK-Avs
SJ-Ducks
The winners in bold. Probably wrong on Ducks/LA but it is just a feeling.

 

[Adam da bomb]

Yep

Laine can score 1 even strength 1 powered play 1 penalty shot and one empty net

They have to play Lanie on the penalty kill so he can do what Super Mario did almost a decade ago and get 1 even strength, one power play, one penalty shot, an empty net and a short handed goal.

 

[Romang67]

Expecting Laine to hit 50.

Bringing his goal totals up to 91 on the season.

So 100 SOG tomorrow?

I can see him getting a bit lucky with the bounces. Let's say 75!

 

[Aavco Cup]

Looks like Toby's back. First practice at the iceplex since before the all star break.

[Aavco Cup]

Scheif on the fifth line

 

[kanadalainen]

Toby's back?

I like it. And I would really like to see him stay healthy for 15 or 20 games.

It seems we'll get our MorTrou pairing back

I like our 4th pairing quite a bit...

Morrow - Myers makes me nervous. Haven’t enjoyed my Joe Morrow experience to this point (although Trouba made him look respectable the other night).

 

[Mathil8]

So based on the line rushes Lowry in at 4C and potentially Scheifele and Enstrom out for one more game? Guess we'll see!

If Enstrom gets through practice he would likely displace Morrow tomorrow

Not sure you can read too much into things actually . Maurice has said they would need to get Lowry & Scheif through today's practice before they make a decision.

 

[Whileee]

Getting better.

Once Scheifele is back, flip Copp to 4LW and we're all set.

Connor-Scheifele-Wheeler
Ehlers-Stastny-Laine
Perreault-Little-Armia
Copp-Lowry-Roslovic

That is a seriously good forward line-up.

Great speed throughout the line-up. Skill on every line. That 4th line is going to be really hard to play against.

Also could go back to CLA leaving a PLR line

I'd like to keep Perreault and Armia together, they seem to bring out the best in each other.

I also wouldn't mind flipping Armia and Roslovic but there are many combinations that can work.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Good call, been feeling for Frenchie lately too. He's shown some frustration but I'm sure he knows he's good for more than just points.

Also really glad Roslo scored, he's earned it.

I think Frenchie was feisty and played well against the Hawks - He has goals waiting for him, for sure!

 

[Deedog99]

I think the Jets can start to sporadically give guys a game or two off and definitely roll 4 lines and keep 26 and 55 off the pk!

 

[Narow]

Should be a good one
