W-GDT: CHI @ VAN - 7PM PST - SN, CBC
Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2025 11:11 am
HNiC - Always something that is looked forward to in JPP's house. Especially against an OG 6 team - even a fallen one.
Myers looks "probable,", D. Petey 100% available. Demko practiced, but only for twenty mins. Speculation by Brown Cherry is a groin injury this time.
Friday's practice lines had some "Maintenance Day" types, in Garland and Hronek. But they have been carrying the mail the last few weeks - so no surprise they get bit of a rest. Both should be in the line up.
Chicago coming off a loss to SJS, and have lost a few in a row, after winning 3 of 4 early March. A very young lineup, should be fun to see some future stars, Nazar, Kaiser and Levshunov to go along with Bedard.
Form Canuck Dickenson finds himself on the top line, and Topper's favorite player in the NHL, Mikheyev slots in right behind him on the 2nd line.
Tale of the Tape
