Tonight's Lines

Per George Richards of the Miami Herald:

Stillman - Horton - Olesz
Zednik - Weiss - Booth
Belak - Kreps - Peltonen
Campbell - McLean - Dvorak

Allen - Bouwmeester
Ballard - Boynton
Murphy - McCabe

Vokoun
Anderson

Murphy and McCabe should be an interesting pair. I suppose adding two offensive-minded defensemen is a good boost to lines that otherwise may not truly threaten much on their own, but their defensive abilities seem suspect.

Anyway, again, Frolik and Stewart are scratches along with Noah Welch. Hopefully Richard Zednik will be a good addition to playing with David Booth and Stephen Weiss. That's a very fast line now, and Booth fights for goals in front of the net, but hopefully the three of them will be able to finish.

Kreps and Peltonen staying together looks good, and Belak adds that much loved physical presence. The third and fourth lines could be flipped around, though. It's a bit weird seeing Belak on the third, after all.
