GDT: Game 35 - CBJ vs LAK - 19 Dec, 7pm, @Nat

[Viqsi]

Dare we hope for three in a row? Technically, we're five in a row if you go by games with at least a point... then again, so are our opponents.

Projected lineup per bluejackets.com:

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

Zach Werenski - Seth Jones
Vladislav Gavrikov - David Savard
Scott Harrington - Dean Kukan

Joonas Korpisalo
Elvis Merzlikins

Scratches: Sonny Milano (injury), Ryan Murray (injury), Andrew Peeke (injury)

Roster Report: Another game, another injury to respond to. This one is rookie defenseman Peeke's injury, which Tortorella said is likely a broken hand suffered Tuesday at Detroit. Scott Harrington should slot into the lineup if the worst is confirmed.

No preview article on kings.nhl.com. Sigh.
EDIT: LAKingsInsider.com apparently is where one should go for preview articles, and while they don't have one for today just yet, there's one posted yesterday anticipating today's game. (h/t @LT Dan for the pointer)

Don't take them lightly....they just came off that big win against the Bruins (albeit the B's are kinda struggling lately)

Love how the kids are fitting into the line up.

Keep those points coming, now is the time to catch up for that last playoff spot.

We can't take any team lightly. That's how we lost to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pens and the Ottawa Senators last week.

Jeff Carter. Let us never forget how frosted tips boy weaseled his way out of here.

Agree with the first team, but Ottawa? Gotta give credit, they're playing better than anyone expecting this season.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Get Elvis his first win

I think the caliber of the team's performance fluctuates but I don't think they're taking anyone lightly. They're just gonna lose games like that sometimes.

**** Jeff Carter.

**** Jeff Carter.

I don't like quoting and giving him any more attention but just here to comment that his f***ing name should be in the profanity filter.

Been tempted to edit every post mentioning him and replace that name with "The Former #7" on the basis of the "offensive language" rules. But I've restrained myself. So far.

You know he’s good for a goal tonight. He always scores against the CBJ.

Continued injustice from the hockey gods.

Gabe Carlsson is up on emergency recall. Odd.

I just speak the truth. I feel like he scores in every game he's played here except when he wore blue.

 

[cbjfaninmo]

Let's Go Jackets!!!

 

[CBJ goalie]

That's right, let's have positivity, people!

 

[aRussian]

It isn’t a good game unless Doughty trashes the Jackets to the media.

 

[Viqsi]

Savard out due to illness. We're going from impossible bad luck on the ice to bad luck with injuries and missed time.

EDIT: or perhaps both simultaneously

 

[CBJ goalie]

Oof...

 

[aRussian]

Dude, just turn on tv and we losing already. WTF

 

[MFRONE]

Awesome start from the top d pairing. ZW has the puck on his stick and blows the clearing attempt and then Jones lets the Kings player completely out body him in front of the net.

 

[The Jones Zone]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZ Bomb!

 

[Viqsi]

G-ddamn, I missed that Werenski one-timer

 

[CBJ goalie]

Ooohh, surprising shot from Werenski! PP goal
