These guys again? So soon?

Projected lineup per bluejackets.com:

Projected Lineup
(Subject to change)

Sonny Milano - Pierre-Luc Dubois - Emil Bemstrom
Gustav Nyquist - Boone Jenner - Oliver Bjorkstrand
Alexandre Texier - RIley Nash - Cam Atkinson
Eric Robinson - Alexander Wennberg - Josh Anderson

Zach Werenski - Seth Jones
Ryan Murray - David Savard
Vladislav Gavrikov - Dean Kukan

Joonas Korpisalo
Elvis Merzlikins

Scratches: Markus Hannikainen, Nick Foligno (suspension), Scott Harrington

Roster Report: We'll put Murray in the lineup tonight since he practiced Saturday and Monday, but it remains to be seen if he'll play after missing Friday's game. A starting goaltender should be known for sure at John Tortorella's 10:30 a.m. press conference.

canadiens.nhl.com doesn't yet have a preview article up, but they do have the lines from yesterday's practice:

Tatar - Danault - Gallagher
Domi - Suzuki - Armia
Lehkonen - Kotkaniemi - Weal
Hudon - Thompson - Cousins

Chiarot - Folin
Mete - Petry
Kulak - Reilly/Fleury

Price
Kinkaid

[CBJ goalie]

We want 10.......scoring chances in the first period.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Hard to tell which is your "1st" line at this point? None?

I do like seeing Bemstrom finally get a shot with some decent players like Dubois and Milano

We dont have 1st line, we have four 3rd line + defenders + two backup goalies.

I like the 4th line, Robinson and Anderson don't need a center to score goals.
And maybe Nash (vet) can get Cam going.

Lol. If that means spanking him after each wasted goal scoring moment.

That lineup just looks awful. We really look like we are grasping at straws

 

[Dumais]

For all the complaining about the young kids not getting a chance, you would think people would be happier with those lines. I'm kinda excited to see Bem on the top line...not sure why Milano is there, he hasnt earned 1st line time IMO.

 

[DJA]

I like the lines actually

 

[majormajor]

The lines really are hilarious. You don't ever see 4 entirely unprecedented combinations all at once. I'd call it random lines, but it wouldn't be this way randomly, I don't think. I think you'd end up with a familiar combo here or there randomly. So this is very interesting.

I like the lines, though it's more like an interesting experiment than anything anyone is certain about one way or the other.

 

[ViD]

The downfall of Cam Atkinson, playing with a rookie and a 4th line grinder

 

[CBJ goalie]

I'm excited to see these lines in action.

C'mon guys, let's get back to .500.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Nice puck movement

 

[KJ Dangler]

Amazing when you swallow your pride and let the young guys play

 

[CBJWerenski8]

1. Wtf is up with Seth Jones
2. What has gotten into Eric Robinson?

 

[aRussian]

Quick, loose start

 

[CBJ goalie]

E-Rob, yeah!!

Shoot from anywhere, need that mentality.

 

[ViD]

Robinson

The downfall of Cam Atkinson, playing with a rookie and a 4th line grinder

He has no 5v5 goals this season.

He has something like 23 points in his last 48 games.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Brendan Gallagher is fun to watch. Fast feisty and fearless

 

[DarkandStormy]

Eric Robinson now needs just one more goal to tie Cam Atkinson on the season.

 

[ViD]

3 in 19, 0 in last 9

Wow

 

[Dumais]

He's looking good so far.
Cam that is...Rob is obvious
