Ok, that better sans the missing Bogo, hope is not a No go. 

 

Will it be Linus's turn in net. I think so. Hutton has taken a beating teh last couple of games and could use a rest although I can playing him(Linus) against the rangers angle. Assuming its Lundquist in goal for them

Encouraging things: Okposo's role this whole entire season has been one that minimizes potential damage to the team and himself. He's still in a "regathering" phase and isn't being pressured to do what Pominville is being successful at right now with Jack, and isn't on the ice in situations where his shortcomings will sting us if they crop up. 

Pominville in general. Keep those legs as long as you can buddy. 

Jeff Skinner. Jack's sitting at 51% corsi right now for the first time after a meaningful amount of games in his career. With every caveat about corsi in the world, it's still a thing that all the good players do, so it's nice to see Jack do that. Not sure he would be without Skinner, and it's fun to see Skinner having that effect on a guy like Jack Eichel instead of a guy like Joakim Nordstrom. 

Didn't see McCabe last night but he's back and was good before he missed the games. 

Dahlin isn't Orr, but no 18 year old defenseman has looked quite like this in a long time. Not sure he's having a better season than Ekblad, certainly not offensively, but he's a better player than Ekblad, who just gave the puck to Campbell all the time, where Dahlin drives the breakouts while he's on the ice. Every single bad thing he does is because he isn't strong enough or gets surprised by the strength and speed of depth NHL players (they're all strong and fast here). Those things will not stay the same for very long at all.

I think this is Young Dahlin in a nutshell, and this will soon pass.

Which translates into him missing at least a month

OH just STOP that!  ?
