If Kravtsov stays up, he shouldn't play with Kakko. There's no instant chemistry, and beyond that, too much inexperience.
Nice to see Lemieux looking strong and fit. He can be an impact player if he can keep up.
If any of our young forwards go down, at this point, I think it should be Howden.

Lemieux looked good tonight. I get it's preseason and not everyone is going 100%, but he was playing with a pace that most of the other players in the game weren't
Panarin, Buchnevich, and then split my vote between the goalies.
Thirty One

Id like to think we are going to see kreider chytil kakko thur as a line. Prob should be more nhl esque, and lias outplayed howden once again. Lias is our new solid 3c, hope he plays well with kravstov

HM: Fox
He is so smart. Even that turnover to Barzal was bad luck.

Whatever the coaches told these guys after the first period needs to become the main message for the rest of the season. They played with much better pace and had fewer breakdowns defending in transition as the game progressed. The top line was incredible, and I was also really happy with Lemieux, Fox, and Skjei.
My only concern is that the 2nd-4th lines haven't shown any consistent groupings, and I kind of expect this sort of dynamic status to last into November. If Strome can play similar to how he did tonight, it'll at least help add some stability down the middle. Other than that, I've been up and down on the 3 young Cs. Each have shown really bright flashes of skill, but I don't think anyone has shown enough to truly claim that 2C spot. If I had to give the edge to anyone right now, it'd be Lias, who I think has earned another shot to play with better wingers.
Lemieux looked noticeably quicker and had way more speed under his skates than last season; fatigue didn't appear to be an issue either for him since he was buzzing around for the entirety of his shifts. If his offseason training put him in a spot where he can be that buzzsaw bottom-6 LW for us all season, he's looking at a nice paybump come July.

Andersson is making the team. First penalty killer out every time.
Fox is just so smart. Bad luck on the goal but otherwise very clean efficient game.
Henrik looked very sharp.
Panarin will singlehandedly improve the possession numbers for this team dramatically.
Overall nice game. I hope Quinn treats Thursday as a dress rehearsal with the most likely starting roster. Send the scrubs back out on Saturday.

I've also re-watched that Panarin backhand saucer to Buch like 89 times on loop. He's just stupid good at hockey.
Buch's confidence grew by the shift with Zib and Panarin. I hope they keep that group together.
Thought the Fast/Strome/Lemmy line had some decent chemistry but Lemmy definitely looked a little rusty. Certainly seems like Strome is a bit quicker transporting the puck and appears to be lighter on his feet.
The Kravtsov/Howden/Kakko line was decent for the first period but cooled off after that. Kakko and Howden are able to find each other in the offensive zone pretty well but Kravtsov looked a little out of place in that role. Howden looked a lot like he did last year with some highs and some lows and seemed to burn out as the game went on.
I thought Lias was quiet aside from muzzling Wahlstrom. Not that I was expecting a whole lot given who he was skating with and I don't think Lias is a guy who will carry a line.
Hank was great. Georgie was great.
Trouba and Skjei were better. Skjei specifically had a much better performance.
Fox is tremendous with the puck on his stick, just okay without it, and, like I've been saying for a while, is suspect against the rush. Misjudged Nelson in the first period and he just absolutely blew past him down the wing for a wrap-around chance. Staal is the same Staal.
Smith and Morrow got better as the game went on but it's hard to not be better than wet garbage.

Yeah really like his game. He can bring offense, and is responsible on his own end. Also is very good with the transitioning from defense to offense. Really rooting for him to take the next step as early as this season.
I thought skjei Trouba were really strong particularly skjei
I love that Tony DeAngelo is joining this group
Great top line. I need to see the 2nd line actually play a game together.
I like Strome in the middle. But we’ll see how the bottom 6 shakes out.
Goalies were very good
