that plus/minus from MDZ really stands out in a bad way.

Boeser and Barzal are the top two scoring rookies right now; hope they put on a show.

The Isles have been practically scoring at will. If we get into a run and gun game with them, I think it'll get ugly for us.
How about we get into a run and gun game where Boeser and Barzal do all the scoring? Say... dueling hat-tricks, real Sakic vs. Linden 1996-style

Sutter goes home, though this is probably not news to any of you (I've missed the last two games)

Sit Burmistrov and Gagner. Put Biega in as a forward and Goldobin can play with Gaunce and Virtanen

Watch out for Nick Leddy he’s been on fire

Their whole team is on fire. 2nd in the NHL to only TB offensively. 12-4-1 in their last 17 games.

They've received terrible goaltending - with average goaltending, they'd be in the mix for #1 overall in the league. This will be a very tough game.

Barzal and Tavares is a pretty good 1-2. I haven't watched an Isles game yet this year, looking forward to catching this game after being away from most of it the last week and a half.

So with Sutter out does Gold-member get a crack at the line up?
Even if he does, don't expect much ice time for him from green.

Green lost his checking line now. Doubt he distributes ice time evenly.

Will ride Bo's line and the twins. I'm sure he'd rather have a checking line against tavares.

To win on the road, your goalie has to be one of your best players.....so Nilsson is going to need to steal this one.....another 40-plus shot game is likely....never thought I'd be saying it but MDZ really seems to miss Gudbranson.....definitely sub-par since he went down....need big game from the 'Killer B' line....at this point Barzal and Boeser leading the rookie scoring parade, so somebody will break the tie.

It'll be interesting to see who starts here. There's been talk about the club showing favoritism to Markstrom despite Nilsson being consistently better.

Whoever starts is likely to face a lot of high quality scoring chances.

Hey Nucks fans. Hasn't been announced, but I suspect Weight will start Halak. Only gave up one goal on Saturday v. the Sense (which is a rarity given how horrible our goalies have been) and Griess gave up 7 goals in his last two starts.
