Will Penguin coaches look to rekindle some regular season magic for Game 5 or is Conor Sheary just a fill-in today?
Sheary is skating on the top line with Sidney Crosby and Jake Guentzel in Wednesday’s practice, though, Patric Hornqvist (wrist) and Nick Bonino (foot) are not practicing so what we’re seeing in practice is not likely indicative of the Game 5 lines, pending the status of Bonino and Hornqvist.
Sidney Crosby despite being the best player on the ice in Game 4, was at 39% in driving possession when on the ice with Bryan Rust for Game 5. There is surely going to be a change with the top right winger spot.
Practice Lines
Guentzel-Crosby-Sheary
Wilson-Malkin-Kessel
Kunitz-Cullen-Rust
Hagelin-Rowney-Archibald
we need to change d pairs – and if possible – whatever our top 4 is – give them the most minutes – and use cullen in all d zone opportunities
If “Bones” plays in Game 5, who doesn’t, since I like what Archibald brings?
Ruhwedel for Maatta, please.
