What to Watch for:

The fourth lines ice time outside of the penalty kill. They have been barely playing and a non-existent fourth line can render your top 9 tired. They should be able to give a team about 10 minutes of reliable hockey. Mind you, a fourth line of Thorburn/Slater/Halischuk may find this hard. Patrice Cormier was called up and may draw in but who knows.

Player to Boo Mercilessly:

Semyon Varlamov, for many reasons. But mainly because I just don't like him.
