Must win game. Probably a Smith start (gulp). The team deserved a better fate on that road trip, hopefully they take it out on the Sharks.

The Sharks have been very good lately. Karlsson was injured a long time but has come back. This is no bottom feeder opponent. They will be eager to finish the season strong to prove they still got it. Maybe with a couple FAs this summer they can be a playoff team again.

I don't like their offense. Shouldn't be hard to shut them down up front, but that freaking Karlsson seems to play well against us.

This should be the best lineup we ice all year. I assume we go with something similar to this:

Kane - McDavid - Yamamoto
McLeod - Draisaitl - Puljujarvi
Hyman - RNH - Kassian
Foegele - Brassard - Ryan

Nurse - Ceci
Keith - Bouchard
Kulak - Barrie

Smith

No reason to lose this game.

Why would Hyman be demoted over Puljujarvi?

It’s pretty clear JP is still clearing out the rust.

I'd say Brassard/Ryan LW/C with Archie, but that's a solid forward group not seen for a long time.

If we are icing the best line-up, Kassian shouldn't higher than 4th line. I would prefer everyone from that 4th line to play in the top9 over Kassian.

Apparently there is a poster on here that doesn't think this is a must win game. Looking at our schedule and seeing the level of competition we will be facing for the most part, means we absolutely MUST beat the teams we're supposed to beat, since the others will be a tough 50/50 proposition at best.
