Wasn't it expected to be 8-10? This is good news.

That was Kucherov. I think it's been 4-6 for Point the whole time

I know it's not really a good thing when your 2 best forwards are injure, but tbh I'm really excited to watch the team for the next few weeks. Lots of oppurtunities for unproven guys. I think Coop found the perfect line combos in....

Palat-ABB-Stammer
Killorn-Cirelli-Joseph
Katchouk-Colton-Raddysh
Maroon-Bellemare-Perry

Though I'm pretty sure that if Katchouk or Raddysh (or really any F, except for maybe Perry) get an injury in the upcoming weeks I'm gonna cry

I was offline for the entirety of yesterday, I knew he was out but seeing as how he finished the game against the Devils, I figured it wouldn't be for that long. I guess if they have to get injured, better now than playoff time...

Anyone else get the feeling Yanni is going to be an absolute beast tomorrow night?

This is Exceptional. Injury cover if Cernak isn't good to go?

I think Cernak is already ruled out. Without Cernak there's only 18 healthy skaters on the roster, so Day makes it 19. This is insurance in case anyone else gets injured before game time I think.

Found it.

That was a quality win. Vasi was absolutely spectacular again, as was the D, and the offense took advantage of the chances they got (Palat's steal which led to the Stammer one-timer was a thing of beauty). Pretty impressive streak going without Point or Kuch. Tough test coming up though: they now play 4 games (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) each of the next 2 weeks, and 7 of them are on the road, starting tomorrow against the Wild at 2 ET.

Only two arenas Vasy has never won in. Wild and the brand new Isles building.

He's been great the past couple of games. I hope he gets the chance to play.

I don't see why he wouldn't. There are no other forwards on the roster. The only question is the lines. The bottom 6 lines have both been amazing, so you obviously don't want to break them up. I think they should try Fortier with Cirelli and Killorn for at least the 1st game. If it's not working then Perry or Katchouk can give it a shot. Hopefully he plays well. I think there's a good chance he has to take over Maroon's spot and role on the team next year.

We could go 11/7 and give Sean Day his debut first....

I think that Cooper may have decided he doesn't like the 11/7 as much as he used to. He hasn't used it in a while. I would much rather Fortier play

We should dress 12/7, give both of them their debuts, and hope nobody notices.

Wouldn't be surprised if both get their debuts in the next few weeks. We don't have that many picks in the bank, it they try showcasing some trade bait prior to the deadline.
