Zac Jones will be in the lineup tonight, making his NHL debut. He will be in the lineup in Jacob Trouba’s place. Also in tonight is Libor Hajek, in for Anthony Bitetto.
Lafreniere starts with Zibanejad and Buchnevich, Kreider with Chytil and Kakko. On D: Jones-Hajek, Miller-Smith. Shesterkin in goal. #NYR
Without Trouba, the defense pairs are going to be rough. But the change up front is the one highlighted. It’s something I touched on in yesterday’s thoughts post.
