Training camp report: McGinn 'could be a fit' on Blueger's line

CRANBERRY, Pa. -- On Day 1 of training camp on Thursday, Mike Sullivan said that the line combinations and defense pairings used in these early practices probably wouldn't be the ones used when the season opens on Oct. 12 in Tampa Bay.

"I would anticipate those changing throughout the course of training camp as we get closer to a semblance of our roster," he said.

One combination used in camp that has the potential to stick once the season starts is the line of Zach Aston-Reese, Teddy Blueger and Brock McGinn, with the newcomer McGinn taking Brandon Tanev's former spot on that line.
