No pregame skate today, so here’s my armchair coach lineup. All may be lost when puck drops; check SCoC Twitter near game time for updates.
Forwards:
Brad Marchand - Patrice Bergeron - David Pastrnak
Drew Stafford - David Backes - Tim Schaller
Sean Kuraly - Riley Nash - Noel Acciari
Matt Beleskey - Dominic Moore - Frank Vatrano
We’re assuming that David Krejci and Ryan Spooner won’t return. Could Jimmy Hayes slot in instead of Beleskey? We’ll just have to wait and see.
DO NOT SCREW WITH THIS FIRST LINE, BRUCE.
Defense:
Zdeno Chara - Charlie McAvoy
Joe Morrow - Kevan Miller
John-Michael Liles - Colin Miller
Encouraging that Torey Krug started skating again. We’ll see what happens, but not likely for this afternoon.
Goalies:
Tuukka Rask (who else?!?!)
Anton Khudobin
Ottawa’s lineup:
Forwards:
Ryan Dzingel - Kyle Turris - Alexandre Burrows
Viktor Stalberg - Derick Brassard - Bobby Ryan
Mike Hoffman - Zack Smith - Mark Stone
Clarke MacArthur - Jean-Gabriel Pageau - Chris Kelly
Defense:
Marc Methot - Erik Karlsson
Dion Phaneuf - Cody Ceci
Ben Harpur - Chris Wideman
Goalies:
Craig Anderson
Mike Condon
