    he was on the wing with sutter centering at practice a few days ago but no concrete word tonight.. we don’t have any reason to believe he won’t be on the top line and powerplay but that’s just based on having no information

    it’s a late game tonight so it doesn’t leave you with much wiggle room for your rosters

    well detroit is still a force defensively, we’ve seen that even with jimmy howard in net

    anaheim has one of the league’s worst defenses overall

    little might be the safe play because nobody has announced where staal will fit in tonight and there’s still a possibility that he might not play
