It seems like the offseason has been about six months long. We last saw our boys in gold in late April as they reeled from an early exit in the first round against Dallas. Since then, there’s been some changes, all of which we have extensively covered at OTF. Pitter patter, let’s get at ‘er!
It’s game day! After waiting seemingly years for this team to take the ice, tonight is the night.
The goaltenders are a known quantity. Pekka Rinne will be in the starter’s crease for his 13th season. Here’s the projected lineup for tonight:
#Preds lines at practice (likely for Opening Night):
Smith-Johansen-Arvidsson
Forsberg-Duchene-Granlund
Grimaldi-Turris-Jarnkrok
Sissons-Bonino-Watson— Thomas Willis (@TomAWillis) October 2, 2019Expect to see Dante Fabbro paired with Mattias Ekholm on the second defense pairing.
