Here's another crappy GDT placeholder. I'm hoping that Chicago Made Punk is okay, but don't yell at me for a lack of quality here.

In their second ever Metropolitan Division showdown, the Canes look to prove they can run with the big boys, and propel themselves forward in the standings. Based on the largely accurate sample size of two games, this team is exceedingly better than years past, and a lock to make the playoffs.
Look for Sidney Crosby, Pascal Dupuis, and Chris Kunitz to engulf Justin Faulk, as he continues to prove why he isn't legit enough to be counted on with Pitkanen out for the year and Gleason recovering from a concussion. In addition, expect at least one point from each of Brandon Sutter and Jussi Jokinen, and at least one shortside WTF goal allowed by Ward off the stick of Evgeni Malkin.
Expected lines:
Tlusty-E Staal-Semin
Gerbe-J Staal-Dwyer
Skinner-Nash-Dvorak
Sutter-Lindholm-Bowman
Sekera-Faulk
Harrison-Murphy
Bellemore-Hainsey
Ward
Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Jokinen-Malkin-Bennett
Jeffrey-Sutter-Kobasew
Glass-Vitale-Adams
Orpik-Martin
Scuderi-Niskanen
Maatta-Bortuzzo (I suppose)
Fleury
