Vern Fiddler is in the top 6. That's all you need to know.
Oh, and I guess Radek Faksa gets his first NHL game.

I fail to understand how Fiddler deserves to be on 2 line while Hemsky is left on 3rd one.
Though I will watch it anyway, because I am excited how Faksa plays.
Any word on who is starting in goal? Niemi presumably?
They are trying to spark Nichushkin, which means playing him on the RW, and Fiddler is more trustworthy as defensive cover for him and Spezza.
Make sense but if we had more defensively responsible top 6 forwards this wouldn't be a problem.
