Lines should be interesting tonight.
I'm figuring we see Miro on the ice tonight.

[alta]

lines based on this mornings skate, per usual they are likely to change during the game

[alta]

Hens lines I’m using where posted online over an hour ago, notice there’s no Guentzel. Just announced Guentzel is now a Hurricane.

1 second in.  right off the face off.

[capsfanpdx]

Miro plays BIG out there!!

[alta]

4:00 pp…

[Mickstix]

Goaltending clinic so far.

[capsfanpdx]

The PP really really really misses 19's hands.......................

[alta]

Willy got stitched under his eye from that high stick

[alta]

Caps up 1-0 after 1, will start the 2nd on the pp

[Surreylily]

Willy got stitched under his eye from that high stick

shame that's all there was to show for it.

[Mickstix]

Can think of zero reasons Miro isn't on PP1. I'd do everything possible to try and get the kid a goal. Unless you think he's just gonna be a third liner or something.
