Could be some changes to the Ottawa lineup ahead of this one. Shane Pinto missed practice yesterday and is being called a game time decision. The team did recall Cole Reinhardt this morning which may be an indication Pinto ain’t ready. We’ll see.
It’s an earlier start in Vegas which means no Game Day skate. A best guess at the lines based on yesterday’s practice.
Tkachuk-Stützle-Amadio
Giroux-Norris-Batherson
Gregor-Greig-Cousins
Reinhardt-Gaudette-MacEwen
Sanderson-Hamonic
Chabot-Jensen
Kleven-Bernard Docker
The team also sent Leevi Merilainen back down to Belleville which seems like a pretty good indication that Linus Ullmark is ready to put his equipment on, at least.
Puck drop is scheduled for 6:00 PM so don’t be late! TSN5, TSN1200 and our ol’ buddy Bort have the coverage.
Wondering how these teams match-up and but also still kinda sorta miss Mark Stone a little bit? The HEAD2HEAD table will get you through it.
