Players to Watch
Seattle — Vince Dunn — the cup winner and top defender. Nasty fight last time v Sillinger, wondering if there is a rematch tonight.
Columbus — Zach Werenski — haven’t touched this since his injury, but this is a much needed breath of fresh air for the lineup and locker room. This is a five star move.
