Over the weekend we had a chance to see both Mark Stone and Zach Whitecloud in full contact workouts. Stone has been out since Jan. 12 with recurring back issues and he was cleared to resume contact workouts. Bruce Cassidy had Stone skating on a newly formed third line with Chandler Stephenson and Michael Amadio. Whitecloud returns to his usual spot in the third defensive pairing with Nic Hague. The other lines are #1: Eichel, Barbashev, Marchessault #2: Karlsson, Smith Kessel Line #3 Roy with Howden and Kolesar. We will see if Cassidy sticks with these lines in Game 1 vs the Jets. We also run down the conference playoff matchups. And, Chris G has a strong opinion about the VGK pet Goldfish.
