With Schenn coming in after being acquired at the trade deadline, Logan Stanley is set to serve as a healthy scratch for the first time this season.

Wasnt he a healthy scratch for the first 4 games?

Worst case scenario from a defensive point of view is we get pummeled tonight as a result of D breakdowns suggesting a false positive that we were missing LS.

Does D stand for discipline also cuz that appears to be a problem

I don’t understand these line combinations for Washington.  Why mess with every line because Vilardi is out?  Appleton on the 2nd makes me want to punch a hole In the wall.
 

Connor-Scheifele-Iafallo

Ehlers-Lowry-Appleton

Niederreiter-Namestnikov-Perfetti

Barron-Kupari-Tanev

Morrissey-DeMelo

Samberg-Schenn

Stanley-Miller

i'm assuming they are looking for a bit of a spark after the last few games of pretty meh effort.

Yeah, I can understand the spark part, but Appleton on the 2nd line??  The 2nd has been one of our better, consistent lines…. Why mess with them?  You want to boost the 3rd line, which has been the biggest issue?  Move Tanev up there and drop Appleton.

Not agreeing with the moves, just suggesting a possible reason for them. Arniel may be trying to send a message to some players.

The idea appears to be keeping 2 guys together. 
 

Connor Scheifele 

Lowry Apples 

names Perfetti. 
 

4th line. 
 

Iafallo is defensively strong and will do the board work 

Ehlers played with Lowry and apples earlier and looked good. Nino Lowry apples has been bad 

Nino names had chemistry playing with Chibrikov earlier this year. Perfetti fits.

I understand what Arniel might be trying to do and I get that you’re not agreeing with the moves…. I just can’t understand why these are the moves that he came up with.  Blowing up the 2nd line, IMO, is a mistake.  Especially when you put Appleton in for Perfetti.

It’s essentially Ehlers replacing Nino on that line tho. 

Yeah, and that line, that has had all kinds of trouble producing offense, is now our 2nd.  And they’re diluting what has been a good 2nd line.

We’ll see what happens…. I don’t see it working…. Certainly not long term.

Yeah. Luke was like it’s beautiful honey. Plus 12 degrees. Then he’s gonna come back. Yeah. It’s minus 2 and there’s a foot of snow.
