Devils vs Flyers - Pre-Season Game #1 |

|
Tonight's pre-season tilt will be the first tune-up and the beginning of a barometer to see who sticks and which rookie can handle the load.
I believe at this stage the only set line is Parise/Zajac/Kovalchuk thus the reason they are not playing tonight. Other notables out are Brodeur (typically does not play road pre-season games), Rolston, Tedenby, Volchenkov.
Here is the projected lineup;
Elias-Arnott-Langenbruner
Zubrus-Josefson-Clarkson
Letourneau-Leblond-Mills-Palmieri
Vasyunov-Mair-Nilson
Salvador-Greene
Urbom-Tallinder
Fraser-Corrente
Hedberg
McKenna
Zubrus/Josefson/Clarkson line is interesting and I would like to see Rolston there as an experiment.
I am surprised not to see Tedenby in there, perhaps he is another one the coaches are comfortable with.
I think the line with the most pressure is Vasyunov/Mair/Nilson as one of these guys may find themselves on the opening day roster after salary shedding.
Urbom/Tallinder is another pair I like what they bring and hope Urbom has a god showing.
