Tonight’s 8-Bit Lines: Feisty Fourth Line vs. Kings

Per Alex Prewitt, with the dads along for the ride, everyone’s getting into the action – which means the fourth line and third pair both get a little makeover. Looks like Tom Wilson and Aaron Volpatti will be in, Andre Burakovsky and Michael Latta out, and Steve Oleksy draws in for his season debut alongside Mike Green. With that in mind, here’s how the lines and defensive pairings will likely shake out, with Braden Holtby back in net:

61-52

Steve Oleksy – Mike Green

That leaves Justin Peters backing up Holtby, and Burakovsky, Latta and Jack Hillen sitting out as today’s healthy scratches, with Dmitry Orlov and John Erskine still on the IR.
