Good swap. Bowers played well the last time he played. Showed speed and solid forechecking. Foote, not so much.

Put Cotter back on the third line and let him fix what's wrong. If they put Cotter on the 4th line, I'd rather them swap Tatar and leave Foote in the press box.

I mean I don’t expect Cotter to fix what’s wrong on the 3rd line considering in 170 minutes with Haula they’ve been crushed and in 123 minutes away from him Cotter’s been crushing. Hopefully 3 games of weak competition can get them going

I’ve been saying to put him back up with Jack-Bratt but they’re obviously not going to budge on Palat even though they’re worse at both ends of the ice with him

No reason they shouldn’t win the next three - not that we haven’t seen this team chronically play down to their opponents.

Some tough games for divisional rivals too - would be nice to squash those games in hand.

Given our history of not winning against NSH at home, I'm mentally prepared for tonight's game

Yeah like sure it could happen as anyone can beat anyone but they should win these games handedly.

In 29 minutes with Haula, Palat has an xG of 30%. Some of that is obviously makeshift lines after icing and whatever, but I don't see what would make you think Palat could work there.
 

Its Always Sundstrom

Among the optimists.

This is must win. If the Devils can’t beat this team then they should start exploring trade options for everyone 24 and older and reset the rebuild built around Casey. :sarcasm:
