Looks like Reimer in net, Paguette centering the 4th line. I'm curious whats up with Fleury though? Healthy Scratch? Pulled Bean up. I thought Gardiner and Fleury have consistently been our best defensive pairing thus far. No word from the twitters i've seen. Dunno if Rod isn't happy with his performance? Will be interested to see if Tripp has a comment on this pre-game.
Also not sure if this was posted yet but Paguettes journey to tonight.
