Jason Dickinson is out with an illness. It is not COVID, it's the flu as the doctor says the flu has been running rapidly. Also, Arvid Söderblom is back in the lineup after getting hurt and going under concussion protocol.
Petr Mrazek did great against Los Angelas, so it is an interesting move to start Arvid and possibly stop Petr's momentum.
Philipp Kurashev seeing the first line is great for the young gun. Give him a taste of the first line early.
