Stars vs. Tampa Bay Highlights 9.30.14 Video - NHL VideoCenter - Tampa Bay Lightning
Another good win and goals coming from the youth whilst Bish was solid in goal.
This is what I think the Lightning team will look like come opening day as well as predicted lines:
(13) Forwards
Palat-Stamkos-Callahan
Killorn-Filppula-Kucherov
Brown-Johnson-Connolly
Morrow-Boyle-Panik
Paquette
(8) Defenseman
Hedman-Stralman
Garrison-Carle
Brewer-Gudas
Barberio
Witkowski
(2) Goaltenders
Ben Bishop
Evgeni Nabokov
No Drouin, I think he will make the team but will be put on I.R and when ready Paquette will be sent down in his place. I think Drouin will join Johnson's line instead of Brown and then Brown taking Panik's spot on the 4th line.
I have Witkowski making the team over Sustr. This is a bit of surprise but Sustr needs more game time in the AHL. Witkowski is only 24 but has played 79 games in Syracuse after turning pro from Western Michigan. Witkowski has impressed in game and plays a solid defensive reliable game with an physical edge as in those 79 games Witkowski has earned 208 Penalty Minutes. I just think he's a Cooper sort of guy and with a lack of physical presence on the team already, I think that gives Witkowski and edge to make the team although I could be wrong.
