Team Canada’s presumptive first line, featuring center Dylan Strome, has yet to develop chemistry in this tournament. With that in mind, head coach Dominique Ducharme made some changes to the line-up in advance of last night’s game.
Lines at practice:
Jost-Strome-Speers
Joseph-Barzal-Raddysh
Dubois-Roy-Gauthier
Dube-Cirelli-McLeod/Stephens— Mark Masters (@markhmasters) January 1, 2017As a result of those changes, Lightning fans were treated to two lines featuring two prospects apiece: Mathieu Joseph remained with Taylor Raddysh while Mitchell Stephens shifted to Anthony Cirelli’s wing. The fifth Lightning prospect in this game was goalie Connor Ingram.
