To me, it would make some sense to switch Sheary and Wilson, to balance  out the "heaviness" of the lines.  But maybe the team is doing it this way to try to create specific matchup issues, and anyway, I'm not a hockey coach.

Hopefully I can catch up with ya'll before it's over! Gonna get a late start on watching it.

Vegas must win tonight if they still want a chance at making the playoffs, they aren’t out of it yet, but damn close

I wonder who comes up with the perimeters for some of these stats?  Why 36, not 35?
