Just a quick note with anticipated lines.... or are they?

Is Ruff blowing up the lines? Any shake up is a good shale up, if you ask me.

Projected lines as follows (It hurts me to write this but this is reality)

Wood-Zacha-Palmieri (Who would have guessed this would be the first line at this point in time??)
Sharangovich-Hughes-Koukkanen (Who would have guessed..part 2?)
Johnsson-Zajac-Bastian
Maltsev-McLeod-Bratt (Bratt a 4th liner??)

Smith-Seversen
Kulikov-Subban
Butcher-Vatanen

Blackwood
Dell

After a nice and overachieving start, this is what we see.

What are your thoughts on these lines?
Do you think Coach Ruff is doing the right thing? (I think he doesn't have many options but to shake things up big time. Miles Wood is a top liner for all you fantasy GMs who own him)
Gusev sitting, is a good thing. Would you also sit anyone else? (Zajac?)


Nico Hischier has been ruled with a Sinus Fracture when the helmet visor hit his head with an impact of the deflected shot. Now he is on the protocol list.
What a blow to him and the team....



Devils Rangers matchup is always exciting and no better opponent to get a W against and stop the bleeding.... Or will they?

***Looking forward to in game discussions in this blog thread. Let's go Devils!!!
