THREE THINGS TO LOOK FOR

Dylan Holloway gets a look on the second line with Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman. Pencil Holloway in on your opening night line cards, it’s just a matter of where. For my money, it’s 3LW in place of Warren Foegele. Let’s see where he ends up.
Tyler Benson has had a fine camp so far, I’m not sure what he’ll be able to cook up on a trio with Devin Shore and Jake Virtanen. Benson (along with James Hamblin) ought to garner serious consideration to make the regular season.
Dmitri Samorukov will pair with Tyson Barrie tonight, Samorukov (along with a few others) are making their push to claim that 3LD spot. Broberg could be the go-to here, but there are a couple other players making the decision cloudier than one might have thought a year ago.

Let’s all have some fun out there.
