Projected Lineup
(Subject to change)

Alexandre Texier - Pierre-Luc Dubois - Eric Robinson
Gustav Nyquist - Boone Jenner - Oliver Bjorkstrand
Nick Foligno - Alexander Wennberg - Cam Atkinson
Kevin Stenlund - Riley Nash - Marko Dano

Dean Kukan - Seth Jones
Vladislav Gavrikov - David Savard
Scott Harrington - Andrew Peeke

Joonas Korpisalo
Elvis Merzlikins

Scratches: Sonny Milano (injury), Josh Anderson (injury), Ryan Murray (injury)

Roster Report: It remains to be seen if the injured trio of players from Saturday's game at Ottawa will be able to return. All left the game with upper-body injuries and did not return. Columbus recalled Dano and Stenlund on Sunday, while Harrington should rejoin the lineup if Murray cannot go.

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Attending for the first time in more than a month. I’ll be making many definitive decisions tonight I’ll say.

 

[ViD]

I too considered attending but the weather doesn’t really seem fitting for an hour long drive

I guess we'll find out who the tr00 fans are...

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Per Porty, Stenlund and Dano both draw in, and Stenlund getting power play time! Harrington in for Murray.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I actually like Harry, but unless Murray is hurt or ill, this is a sub that should not happen.

Agreed. Still not sure what's wrong with Murray. Hope he's back soon.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Going to the game tonight and Wow! It's almost like a double header as I get the see Jackets and Monsters on the same night.

But seeing Wennberg draw third line duty give some me the utmost confidence tonight.

Poor BeerMan.....little did he know his ticket to Cleveland was a one way purchase.

 

[ViD]

Washington completely owns us at the Nationwide lately, doubt it changes tonight

 

[EspenK]

Can't see us beating Caps two in a row,

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I expect us to go up 2-0 and lose 4-2

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I expect us to go up 2-0 and lose 4-2

... waaaiit aaa minuuuute.

 

[CBJ goalie]

Excited to see what Dano and Stenlund can do - not expecting miracles, but solid efforts that show they want to stay in the line up could be interesting

Ive sadly lost my hope for Stenlund. Dano should come out with tons of energy, hopefully that energy is used in a positive manner

I dont expect them to save the day but rather gain valuable learning minutes and some films they can use to further their development.

 

[NotWendell]

I predict an ass beating.

Beerman is injured. He didn't play against W-B Scranton.

I assume your talking about Hannikienen, he played both games. His days in Columbus may be over, but you never know.

I saw the game in Cleveland. The TV crew said he was out with injury. Then again, I was on heavy medication at the time.

Stenlund has been better this year, but his defensive game still lacks. Don't know if he can score enough to overlook that. Dano has been good, but he seems to like the penalty box a little too much. Gets a lot of penalties at the worst times, and they are usually ones he didn't have to take.

So Sonny Milano is the new Marko Dano?

He missed a game earlier, but he has pretty much played all year.

Sonny has been playing a lot better as of late. I hope he is ok after that hit. I really would like to see him work on his balance.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

We're going to win. The question is how many goals does Korpi/Elvis not let in
