It will be good to see if this third line can work, whether we will need to make changes or not. Hopefully these three can find some chemistry, and provide the secondary scoring that we've needed for some time. If this doesn't work, I suppose some line juggling, maybe moving Domi with Matthews, and either Nylander or Marner with Minten/McMann... I'm not sure I'd want to break up the Patches/Tavares/Nylander line though....

The QC
looks like robertson's time is done, he may get into the b2b

might be his last chance to do something
I am not sure it matters what he does now... he has had ample chance to show he can contribute, and has failed to do so. A one game contribution would be an exception, not the norm.

Would be nice to move him so he can get a chance somewhere else, it's clearly not going to happen here.

He'll still be day to day a week from now when he ends up in IR lol

Depends on what it is, how it heals, and how the other goalies perform in his absence. If they excel, they probably stretch it out to be safe. If they don't, he's back sooner.

Personally, I'm not in a rush to move him anywhere to give him that chance. While it's improbable he has much value in a trade, he can be moved as part of a trade when we identify what we actually need... plus, he's probably more valuable as insurance in case of injury, than a 4th or whatever we get.

it might get him another game, but yea I don't see the team having him apart of either long term or short term plans.

He has so much talent, just can't utilize it.

Better watch your barns. They may burn down during this one. Detroit is challenging for last overall.
