Jackets Game 3 (X) Preview: At Home to Face the Pens

The Jackets are back home again tonight to face the Penguins. They currently sit at 1-1 in the preseason standings, and look to go above .500 with a victory over a Pens team that will not dress stars Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin or Jordan Staal.

The Jackets are going with an interesting lineup, with a seemingly heavy emphasis on forward pairs. You see Juice playing with Vermette, with young sniper Tomas Kubalik rounding out the line; two-thirds of the potential top line in Springfield with Kyle Wilson and Chad Kolarik joined by Umberger; checkers Ethan Moreau and Sammy Pahlsson are likely to start the season together, and tonight they are joined by Mike Blunden. The fourth line has likely fourth line linemates Andrew Murray and Chris Clark playing with Tom Sestito.

Fearless Prediction: Anton Stralman scores a PP goal!

 

Game Time: 7:00ET

Fortunately, I’ll be there in the lower bowl tonight, so I’ll try to grab some good pictures for everyone!
