4 Caps:
I would think Boyd will sit when Kuzy returns which most likely will be Friday against the Devils. Eller will return to the 3rd line. The guestion will be whether Kuzy returns to the top line or will Backstrom continue on the top line.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kuzy goes right back on the top line, only because a Kuzy/Connolly/Vrana line is a big defensive question mark. But Backstrom centering that line gives it some defensive gravitas. After Oshie returns and Connolly drops in the lineup, then maybe you could do Vrana/Kuzy/Oshie on occasion at least.
Ovie/Kuzy/Wilson is a respectable defensive line because Ovie has been playing a much better all-around game the last couple of seasons. Trotz finally got through to him.

The question is who sits when Osh and Kuz return.

Fairly evenly played game. The Islanders just dont have the offensive talent. You could see that on their pp. It was atrocious.
Good question. Who is going to sit. I assume Boyd will be one of them. I'd like to see Burakovsky as the other. DSP did leave the game today and I'm sure he didnt return so he might possibly miss some games.

I'm hoping Backstrom stays with Ovi. We give up too many chances when Kuzy and Ovi are on the ice together. Ovi has been a bit lazy in our zone this year. The goal we gave up Ovi may have had a chance to make a play on the guy at the blue line.
