Description

A few things here to consider.
Marchand is likely to get suspended, so he's probably out.
Bergeron could miss the game, but I think theres an over 50% chance he's in, so I'm leaving him be.
McAvoy is out for awhile after heart surgery so our defense will stay the same as at the devils. Accari might be out with a lower body injury and I'd give him slightly under 50% chance to play so I'm going for a replacement.
For a RW 4th liner I think we'll still go for one of our skill AHL guys. Bjork and Cehlarik should likely be passed on even though they are better players. I believe this leaves Szwarz as an optimal replacement. It could logically be Czarnik and I'd love to give him some more time in the NHL, but I'm guessing it's Szwarz.

This roster doesn't look half bad imo considering it's missing 2 All Star type players (Marchand + McAvoy).

IF Marchand gets suspended I highly doubt Vatrano will start the 1st line maybe:

Heinen/Bergeron/Pastrnak
DeBrusk/Krejci/Spooner
Vatrano/Nash/Backes
Schaller/Kuraly/Acciari

Chara/Carlo
Krug/McQuaid
Grzelcyk/Miller

I’d rather see Cehlarik called up and put in Marchy’s spot. If not Spooner should take it. He’s earned it with his play lately. I wouldn’t play Vatrano unless i had no other choice.

Yeah, I think the way things are going we will decide to keep all other lines intact, so no-one off the current roster would likely move around into another spot during this streak. Cehlarik would be nice, but I just think Vatrano needs one last chance. Put him with great players see if he sinks or floats and if it doesn't work, you turn around and waive him. Then Cehlarik is the 13th Forward in stone and we're probably a better team for it. I think the way things have shook out with Vatrano this season that he's basically waiver fodder now and by putting him with 2 really good players, it would give him his best chance to prove he actually belongs on this team as the 13th forward.

He was a healthy scratch.

I think you see:

Bjork -- Bergeron -- Pastrnak
DeBrusk -- Krejci -- Spooner
Heinen -- Nash -- Backes
Schaller -- Kuraly -- Acciari/Vatrano

depending on whether Acciari is out or not. There's always a chance you see Bjork and Spooner switched but that's what I'm thinking/hoping.

Definitely don't want Szwarz re-called. He's so mediocre. I'd rather see Blidh, if anything. I don't think we see a move made for a 4th liner though.
