Of course want to see what Monahan can do in a game where he and his line will will have to be able to manage McJesus and Draisaitl from time to time. Don't care if they score or not just win that battle. I think Lindholms top line will be fine and we know Backlunds spent plenty of time checking McDavid with generally good if not perfect results.
Also really want to see how Kieth handles incoming rushes, it's supposed to be where he's fallen off according to the press.
Always care when we play those guys even in pre season in their rink. Let's see if Sutter Hockey is all it's cracked up to be!
