Likely no true morning skate today because of the early start, so here’s what we know:
Dennis Cholowski was skating with Jonathan Ericsson in practice yesterday, which means they’re both out. I know, you were all really excited to see that defensive pairing in game action, I’m sorry.
Power Play Units as follows:
PP1: Bertuzzi-Larkin-Rasmussen (net front), Nyquist-Hronek
PP2: Athanasiou-Nielsen-Mantha (net front), Vanek-Kronwall
Really making the most out of Rasmussen and Mantha’s shooting abilities by plunking them in front of the net because they’re big dudes. You can’t see it, but I’m rolling my eyes so far back in my head that I also can’t see hwat Im’ tpyaing.
