Pre-Game Talk: Toronto @ Tampa - Saturday 7pm - SN

[Suntouchable13]

You know, maybe I am crazy, but I'd like to try Matthews in between the Nylanders.

 

[AvroArrow]

Matthews and Knies likely return, nobody can be happier than Nylander lol.

Awesome news, my wife won tickets to the Predators game so even more excited getting to see them live

What website would the video be posted on?

If they are back we have a chance, but without both there is no way I can see them winning barring Woll turning into 1999 Hasek.

The defense will really be tested, Tampa has been up and down this year but they're scoring a ton of goals still.

Was thinking similiar. Give him a support role for first few til he ramps up. Let nylander be the feature.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Should be a fun one, interested to see where they place Matthews and Knies in the lineup.

A bit of good news

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Thank God. We’re getting a couple of guys back.

 

[Fogelhund]

Hopefully Roberson, is better than Robertson... with the weight of the T removed.

Lol does he retype those names everyday ?

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Couple guys will need to be sent down if Matthews and Knies are good to go. Maybe just one if McMann heads to ir.

I suspect Greb and Minten since they are waiver exempt. Possible they waive A. Nylander.

It seems likely they'll put McMann on IR to give him a full week. I am pretty sure they can retroactively put him on IR as of Wednesday/Thursday, so he'd miss 2-3 games if he's not seriously injured.

That third line is certainly one of the lines of all time.

You never knows these days, he probably has a full NMC/NTC.

With Reaves suspended, and McMann Injured, there are just 23 players on the roster. At this point, nobody needs to go down as far as I'm aware.

They are at 23 players with Reaves suspended. Suspended players do not open a roster spot. Matthews and Knies off IR means they are at 25 players. Even if McMann goes to IR, they will need to make at least 1 roster adjustment to activate them.

Knies-Matthews-W.Nylander
Holmberg-Tavares-Marner
Roberson-Minten-Lorentz
Steeves-Dewar-Grebenkin
Extra, A.Nylander, Reaves (suspended)

Rielly-OEL
McCabe-Tanev
Benoit-Timmins
Myers-Hakanpaa
Stolarz, Woll

That's 23 plus Reaves??

That's 24 with McMann on IR. Reaves doesn't open a roster spot being suspended.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Wish they'd go back to trying Rielly-Hakanpaa again.

Google is giving me this... I'm not saying it isn't wrong.

Yes, suspending an NHL player opens up a roster spot on the team:

• Suspended players
  Suspended players are not eligible to play in any games until their suspension is complete. While they are suspended, their team can replace them with another player.
