The BIG news

  • Been-Seguin-Radulov have been reunited for the Dallas Stars tonight. They’ll have full power-play correlation as well.
  • Erik Karlsson returns for the Sharks tonight. He’ll skate alongside MA Vlasic.
  • Dusting Byfuglien is OUT for the Jets tonight. No word yet on who will be the PP1 QB but my advice is to take whoever the line sites aren’t listing, between Trouba and Morrissey. Both have split time there with Buf out. I’ll update on twitter if I find out anything else. Kulikov takes his spot in the lineup.
  • Brandon Pirri is up on VGS2 again with Statsny and Tuch. Pacoiretty moves down to VGS3 with Eakin and Lindberg. Pirri is also on the PP1.
  • Kyle Turris is back up on NSH2 after a brief stint on the 4th He’ll skate alongside Sissons and Fiala. Bonino is between Boyle and Smith.
  • Canucks line changes are shuffling constantly, so don’t put to much stock in how they lineup to to start. Right now it’s: Boeser-Pettersson-Leivo, Rousel-Horvat-Goldobin, Granlund-Gaudette-Motte.
  • LAK1 has been reunited. Brown is back up. Carter Draws back in with Toffoli and Leipsic.
  • ICYMI: Patrick Laine is back on the Jets top unit. Or he was last game, anyways.
