Looks like the cream is rising to the top as Boeser lines up with Pettersson. You have to feel for Horvat, though he is stepping it up a notch as well; no more slow starts to the season. One has to think that the captaincy may also be on the line.
Good chance to see how Gaudette performs with increased minutes in Sutter's absence. And Granlund as our next Hansen.
Kane apparently a game-time decision for the Hawks due to illness. Crawford in net.
