Confirmed? I would have thought Gallant would put Merrill back in (on F or D).
They should try Engo at forward. He can still play the PK.

Not 100% confirmed yet, but if the biggest issue according to Gallant is slow starts, what’s better then starting a 4th line who has a kid making his nhl debut against the team that traded him.


Also, I do like a 7th dmen starting. And not just now, but normally. I just think most 4th lines generally only play 6-8 minutes, my 4th line would consist of a 7 dman, a defensive C and a grinder W. Just me though.
