So with Boeser back, I assume MacEwen gets the hook.

Looks like Brock Boeser will return vs. the Islanders, based on Tuesday’s line rushes at morning skate:

Pearson-Horvat-Boeser
Miller-Pettersson-Toffoli
Roussel-Gaudette-MacEwen
Eriksson-Sutter-Virtanen

Hughes-Tanev
Edler-Stecher
Fantenberg-Myers

Do the rest mickster if you would
Just when I thought the return of Boeser would finally push Eriksson out of the lineup I now see Motte's name missing.

I guess he must be injured now?

Not even Travis Green would scratch Motte in favor of the empty net honey badger. Would he :(

Please have mercy upon our team and protect them from injuries and being outscored. We ask this in the name of Cyclone Taylor and all that you find holy.

Islanders haven't played since Saturday when they lost in OT to the Canes.

Considering we couldn't even skate with an exhausted and banged up Bluejacket squad coming off a back-to-back, I'd say we're gonna lose this one handily.

5-2 Islanders.

I was thinking the same thing, Jake played the left side with great success in junior.
I'm guessing that Jake isn't on the 3rd line simply because that would put 3 forwards together who aren't exactly renowned for their experience when it comes to defensive prowess.

I think Green has done a good job with Jake though.

Jake has become a very versatile player that you can place him throughout the line-up.

If he can have his place cemented on PP2, and not hitting so many posts, i think he'll be a good consistent 50 point forward for us.

Jake has been under Green's tutelage for more than the past couple seasons (I believe in Utica).....

I think JT Miller has done a good job with Jake.

Virtanen didn't start putting it together consistently until this season.....it coincides with forming a friendship and mentoring relationship with Miller.

We're talking about replacing Roussel with Virtanen on that line.

Is it really going to make that much of a difference defensively at this point? :hmmm:

While we're on the subject, Mac has come along a fair bit in that department since camp.

I think I heard he's been killing penalties for the comets.
