To bad Erlend Lesund isn't playing anymore. Yes, the lack of depth on the D is hurting us.
And no Lilleberg in this wc either, Syracuse won against Rochester this night. Milwaukee-Texas is 2-2 in matches so far, last game tomorrow night. So if Milwaukee wins we might have Emilio Pettersen ready against Denmark. Back depth could have been better....
Think we should do some rotation on the lines, Zuccarello with his playmaking and great passes deserves to play with a great finisher, so put Brandsegg Nygård into the 1.line. Thoresen can play center, he used to do that many times in SKA St.Petersburg in KHL so he knows the role.
Split the third line. Salsten can be a good fit in the third line. It is better for them play with a more experienced player at this level to drive the line.
No that Lilleberg is out give Hurrød a chanche as back. He have fresh legs after resting yesterday.
Haukeland try him out aswell.
My suggestion against Czechia.
