The wings need to "Hold Home" and a win tonight ensures a season series win against the BJs.

Be real sweet to take 4 points in the next 2 games, but even 3/4 would be huge!

Really big game for this team. Have to win this one because you never know what level of hot mess an outdoor game is going to be and they can't afford an 8 point swing.

This is a big test game for this team. The last time we really had one of these was vs Ott last year and we failed miserably. I'm curious to see if the Todd-Factor makes a difference. Have to start fast and put the pressure on the Jackets right away.

Doesn't look like he'll play tonight, hopefully he'll be ready for Ohio Stadium

Man do I hate that fourth line. Poor Burgers, was looking good on a line with Ras and Soda, and has been getting punished ever since. Injuries are partly to blame.

Win this one! Beat them so bad they lose the next one too!

Huge game tonight. Time to separate from the pack

Too bad Ansar does not know, Motte is the 4th line Center.

Berggren - Motte - Fischer.

Just like at game against the Wild. All were decent at faceoffs.

Faceoffs wins-losses:
---------------
Larkin 10-8
Compher 6-3
Veleno 4-4
Motte 3-2

I was confused by the Motte/Dries rotating at wing. Why call up Dries if you aren't even going to use him at center? But this would explain it

They usually need those extra guys for a road trip. If something will happen there, just before the game, when the callup would be too late.

So Dries and Lagesson are with them if something will happen. Either should not play if rest of the team is ok.

In terms of the Stadium Series in Ohio, it would be extremely important to win at home today, preferably without OT. Then you can go there a little more relaxed and with less pressure...and win again!
