After a disappointing 3-5-3 start to the season, Carolina head coach Bill Peters has apparently decided that it’s time for a bit of a shakeup in the way the team lines up to begin most games. Here’s what the ‘Canes showed in today’s morning skate:
Jeff Skinner - Victor Rask - Elias Lindholm
Joakim Nordstrom - Jordan Staal - Andrej Nestrasil
Phil di Giuseppe - Teuvo Teravainen - Lee Stempniak
Viktor Stalberg - Jay McClement - Sebastian Aho
Jaccob Slavin - Brett Pesce
Klas Dahlbeck - Ron Hainsey
Noah Hanifin - Jakub Nakladal
Cam Ward
Eddie Lack
So it’s a new top line with Lindholm moving back to the right wing and Stempniak dropping down to the third line.
