Cuylle, Othmann in bottom-six roles as competition nears end

The competition between Will Cuylle and Brennan Othmann (and to a lesser extent, Jonny Brodzinski), and both appear to be in the lineup tonight, per Vince Mercogliano.

Based on this morning’s skate, this should be tonight’s lineup. Brodzinski, Laf, Jones and Harpur look like the scratches. #NYR https://t.co/8kUS4SmEKS

Both are expected to have bottom six roles tonight, but that does appear to be in part due to Kaapo Kakko and Blake Wheeler getting looks in the top-six.
