I would like to see (if Winnick is back), the Spaling/Winnick/Lups line be the checking line against Forsberg/Fisher/Neal. If they can neutralize that scoring line, and then Kadri's line and Bozak's line (with a bit of luck) can outscore the Preds other 2 top lines.
Preds sometimes play the 4 th line fewer minutes and this could be our advantage, as I think Froese's line (with or without Holland) can outplay them and have been gaining momentum; it helps when the coach plays the 4th line 10 minutes a game. The top lines benefit as well, especially later in the game, as they aren't as wore down.
Preds are getting scoring from their D.
They have 13 goals from the D of which 4 on the PP.
We have 6 goals from the D and 1 off the PP.
