Broadcast information
Tonight's game will be televised on MSG Plus and MSG ad the radio broadcast can be heard on WFAN.com.

Lineup changes
Looks like Zacha will be "demoted" to "3rd" line for today's game. I personally will be watching our 2nd line closely to see if they can build some sort of chemistry. Another key note is the Greene-Larrson pairing has been split up for a game or two now, though I doubt its will stick. Still waiting to hear about the Rags lineup for the game.

I wouldn't read to much into Greene and Lars being spilit since Lars isn't even playing tonight.

If they are spilt for a few games they both play j would raise an eyebrow

Blandisi getting another solid look here it seems. He's earned the chance as he's played quite well.

If Josesfon can't create any offense playing with two of our best wingers he could be in jeopardy of losing a spot on this team. Looks like Shero and Hynes are giving him every opportunity.

If you heard from Hynes this morning it's actually the exact opposite.

Hynes raved about Jacob Josefson, said he's been good every day from the start of camp.

This has always sort have been the issue with Josefson though, he almost always plays quite well but can never put up points. :laugh:

I reaaaaaally hope he can do something significant offensively in this game. even a secondary assist would make me happy.

@TGfireandice: One of things Hynes is looking for from Blandisi and Boucher playing on back-to-back nights is "consistency". Important for young players.

Definite big game for these two tonight.

Yep, for Josefson, that is sad but true. You hit the nail on the head here. We're at the point where Josefson needs to show he can produce instead of just look good. Looking good hasn't been enough for him in the past. That needs to translate into points eventually. He's got the opportunity now. Let's hope he can run with it.

He plays well, but no offense. I understand Hynes like giving out confidence talks, however, if he pops single digits in goals l just don't see him lasting, especially on a team looking for goals.
