There were multiple modifications, including promotions and demotions, possible injuries and more to know prior to puck drop against the Bruins.
Eberle Demoted
Jordan Eberle moved down to the third line right wing after struggling on the top unit so far this season. He hasn’t been able to make many of his shots on net, and often misses or has his shots blocked.
With this move, Leon Draisaitl moved back up to the top unit with Patrick Maroon and Connor McDavid. By the same token, Zack Kassian slots in on the second-line wing along Milan Lucic and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
