Team 1040 is reporting that Pavol Demitra will likely make his season debut Saturday versus the Pittsburgh Penguins. Great news, now all they have to decide is where to put him. Has the second line of Samuelsson, Kesler, and Raymond shown enough to not get broken up? I’m not sure it has.
It appears Alain Vigneault isn’t ready to shake up his top two lines. Here’s what the lines looked like at practice today:
Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
Raymond-Kesler-Samuelsson
Demitra-Wellwood-Bernier
Hordichuk-Rypien-Glass
Jannik Hansen looks to be a healthy scratch, Ryan Johnson is still injured and Alex Bolduc is injured because he’s crazy.
*Update: It looks like Bernier re-aggravated his groin injury, so look for Jannik Hansen to take his spot on the third line.
