On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we look at some of the comments from after the loss to Vegas by Dean Evason that suggest the entire team really has no answers for the struggles they've had over the last 14 games. We offer suggestions for new line combinations against New Jersey on Saturday, while keeping roster changes in line with some of Bill Guerin's recent comments. We suggest rewarding players like Joel Eriksson Ek, Connor Dewar and Brandon Duhaime for their play with elevations in the lineup. We call for Sammy Walker to get a call back up to utilize the currently empty roster spot the Wild typically have when at home. We suggest the following:
Kaprizov-Eriksson Ek-Zuccarello
Boldy-Gaudreau-Walker
Duhaime-Dewar-Foligno
Greenway-Hartman-Shaw
With Reaves and Steel getting a chance to sit in the box. We also suggest some tweaks defensively while also realizing that the d core is limited currently with Brodin injured. We finish by discussing some "don't do's" as the season goes on.
