Notes
Forwards
In Ottawa, Joffrey Lupul is on the right wing (as in not on his preferred off wing) with Nazem Kadri and Shawn Matthias. That’s Babcock’s preference and odds are it will be Lupul’s reality for the year.
In Toronto, William Nylander is centering Michael Grabner and Devin Setoguchi, which is exciting for a couple of reasons: Nylander is getting a shot at center with a couple of legitimate linemates, and that line has speed in spades and then some.
