4-3 Wings. Feels like we could win this one but something just tells me we won't.

Larkin, Debrincat, Raymond, Copp.
Smith, Granlund, Eklund.

Hopefully we get Smith and Celebrini tonight. I feel like a development day is coming on the back to back later this week.
100% dev day coming. Doubt they want to sit them for Saturday's jumbo retirement and a packed house, so I'd expect they'll alternate Smith/Celly on the wed/thurs b2b.

It does seem like they're using the Catapult data to dictate, which is why Celly was such a late decision vs. Philly.

Catapult data?

Catapult data?
Grier mentioned Catapult in his presser way back about Smith's dev plan and Celly's injury. I dug into it a little then, and then last week, this NYT article came out.

Basically they are monitoring and forecasting load levels. And reading between the lines / taking the hints, they are using this data to try to keep Smith (and I'm guessing Macklin) at load levels below a typical NHL rolling 7-day load. So they might play a back to back, but not if there are other games close on either side.

My guess is he's only been brought up to play one of the two back to backs against Dallas/St Louis. I wonder if depending on Vita's health, if they'll give him the Dallas game and then the Buffalo game on Saturday?
