These are projected line ups. Not sure 100 percent. They also have Georgiev starting, there has been no confirmation though, but if Igor is not playing tomorrow, Gallant needs to be fired. Not even about the matchups, but just tomorrow, it’s kinda a special game. Lol.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

What needs to happen for Jones-Schneider to stick? Hat trick each? 7 goals? 8?

 

[tomobson]

Must win.

 

[Thirty One]

What needs to happen for Jones-Schneider to stick? Hat trick each? 7 goals? 8?

They need Jones to contribute offensively and for K'Andre to play solid defensively, showing Gallant that there's no need for someone to spell him on the PK and defending a lead late like Nemeth has been used for.

 

[rangers1314]

Did someone report Jones being in? I didn't see that.

Right, Millers struggles have been a major blocker of Jones getting in.

 

[McRanger92]

Trap game. Georgie starting, Columbus motivated after getting embarrassed by Calgary, big game tomorrow. Hopefully they can get a few past Korpisalo early and play from ahead. LGR

I bet you can’t get 65 shots on us

 

[Fitzy]

The gap between the #8 and #9 teams in the east is astronomical right now, the playoffs teams are pretty much all already determined unless something catastrophic happens.

Not gonna lie, that Elvis managed a .900 save percentage in a game he gave up 6 is pretty legendary

 

[Crease]

The gap between the #8 and #9 teams in the east is astronomical right now, the playoffs teams are pretty much all already determined unless something catastrophic happens.

It's the perfect time to give the kids an extended look with Strome or Zibanejad.

 

[will1066]

I bet Gauthier will crash into your goalie.

 

[ViD]

I bet Gauthier will crash into your goalie.

Korpisalo in goal…so… you break - you buy
