Don’t read anything into Svechnikov skating on a full line from this because that’s the way the team has been practicing the entire time. Staal’s injury might force them back into the 12/6 setup or it may just means Cholowski is back in. I don’t know if Blashill wants to use both Cholowski and Djoos though. We’ll see today.
The other interesting part is that it has looked like Mantha has been playing below his linemates and Zadina has been playing above them.
