Nyquist recalled from GR, playing with Fil and Franzen tonight. Samuelsson (groin) out
It's on now.
So what does this mean for the lineup if he's with Flip & Franzen?
Dats-Z-Brunner
Nyquist-Flip-Franzen
Cleary-Abdelkader-Samuelsson
Tootoo/Miller-Emmerton-Miller/Eaves
Unless they split DZB and Emmerton sits.
Miller-Z-Brunner
Cleary-Dats-Samuelsson
Nyquist-Flip-Franzen
Tootoo-Abdelkader-Eaves

Would rather see
Flip-Dats-Nyquist
Mule-Z-Brunner
Would rather see
Flip-Dats-Nyquist
Mule-Z-Brunner
Yea, at least it feels like we have a second line tonight.Either way it should be interesting to watch tonight, Mule-Fil-Gus seems like a legit 2nd line.
Why Z as Center? ... I don't get it, Dats is the best right?
Awesome!
It's obvious Samuelsson had issues last night.. he can't be that bad every game.
Gus has good chemistry with Datsyuk. (Who wouldn't?)Every one proposes that top line for Pav but I think he'd he'd like it very much, he'd be flanked by 2 pass first players while our 3 top shooters are on the 2nd line.
Sure Fil and Gus are starting to shoot more now but they are far from trigger happy like Brunner, Mule, and Hank
If Z and D get split up maybe they should try Pav and Brunner with Filp, and Mule-Z-Gus on the 2nd line. I know Brunner and Z had good chemistry in Europe but who's to say he won't build even better chemistry with Pav. His right handedness and shoot first mentality seems a match made in heaven with Pav's elite play making. And IMO Mule was never at his best next to Pav, He and Z work better, and putting Nyquist on that line would allow him to be mentored by our Captain.

I agree. But some RH shot is going to find it's way through to the 1st line, I'm afraid. That would be Sammy.
Yes!! Nyquist will show that he belongs w the Wings
O, Yes he can! Nyquist to stay, Sammy to third line..Helm comes back, bye Miller...Good to go![]()

but I think it should be Nyquist-Datsyuk-Franzen and then Fil-Zetterberg-Brunner.
