Pastrnak set to make his return this weekend vs Washington!

Here are a few things I would like to see Bruce experiment with the lines

-Pastrnak returns to the first line RW (as expected)

-Jake Debrusk to third line LW: Coyle and Smith looked awesome with a sizeable Trent Frederic next to them. I'm curious to see how an aggresive, forechecking Debrusk could look next to them.

-Don't move Nick Ritchie (yet): I like the second line and the chemistry they are forming. Even though Nick Ritchie has 1 5v5 point, I just think they're playing fairly solid on that second line. Could make the case to drop Ritchie to third line LW

-Anders Bjork is the odd man out and I don't think anyone should be surprised about that based on his play thus far.

-Kase's injury has me really scratching my head as we still have no real update on his status. Studnicka is the guy for now.

- Not touching that defense at all. They've been excellent


POWERPLAY
- David Pastrnak takes Krejci's spot on the left side point (his usual office)

-David Krejci drops to the second unit PP at his usual office next to McAvoy.
-Unfortunately, Jakub Zboril is the odd man out of the powerplay unit...unless someone else might be? I really liked what I saw from Zboril on the PP, I just don't know who else they'd take out.

PENALTY KILL
-Not touching a thing, the PK has been pretty solid
