As mentioned, I hope they don't touch the top line
As with any injury, the silver lining is opportunities for other players. I think Jankowski, Neal, Czarnik and Bennett should all be excited to try and put their stamp on this season as early as this weekend. We're forced to shuffle things around here, so there'll be some looks that might stick in Backs' absence.
Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Jankowski - Neal
How would that 2nd line look like against McDavid?
