Couple of curveballs here ... first, since this is a Sunday game I'm going ahead and starting the thread early just to ensure that we have one in a semi timely manner. Second, yes. This is a Sunday game at 7:00 in the evening, the first and only such beast of the season.
Expect ... I dunno, but I assume Ward in net and the same lines we've seen in the last two games. That seems to be working and Winnipeg presents no compelling matchup reasons to change things up. Staal will draw the defensive assignment on their big line and everybody else will try and generate some scoring.
Carry on with your weekends, but special props to Kurtzie for reminding me to get tickets to the Bowie exhibit in Brooklyn next week ahead of time. Done deal.
