David Quinn announced that newly extended Chris Kreider is in and Pavel Buchnevich is out due to the car accident. The young winger is still day to day. Greg McKegg will be reinserted into the lineup. Additionally, Brendan Smith will take Brady Skjei’s spot on defense. Alex Georgiev is your starter.

"We still want to continue to do the things we’ve been doing over the last month and a half, and we’ve got a goal in mind, and we certainly know what’s attainable and achievable, and now there’s clarity and certainly – which is all you really want.” – Coach Quinn pic.twitter.com/oj8Xo8D4ay
