Barkov out, tkachuk out with illness, knight in for bob and not doing well as usual,, 11 forwards dressed with Giles, Greer, gadjovich, Loustarinen and Lundell making up 5 of those, not like erod and Jesper are big producers either so really it’s all on Verhaeghe, Reinhart and Bennett for the most part.

Not worried at all. Like every season…it’s a long way to go and the team will lose games, it is what it is. The first couple weeks may be a little rough especially with no barkov

I think we're fine, we were good in the opener. It was 6-2 until 3 minutes left in the game. In Ottawa we had a bad first period that cost us, and Ullmark was great. He's a terrific goalie when he's on. We played well for the last two periods. This game wasn't the best effort, but missing Barkov and Tkachuk is huge. Barkov, I mean everyone knows what he can do offensively and defensively, but he also just wins every battle. He's a massive part of our lineup, and just tilts the ice in our favor in most games. Injuries happen and we have to win some games without him, but nonetheless it's a factor. They have to do a better job playing without him, and Knight has to play better, although he did make some great saves in the 3rd to give us a chance.

Like Maurice said, he's also just playing his first NHL game in awhile. He might be better in a couple games. Boqvist and Giles are also not used to playing center. I expect the whole team to be sharper next game. It could be worse, we could be looking like the Oilers right now .
