10 games Covid quarantine. One eight of a season. That could wreck a season...

[wildstars95]

 aren't they  all supposed to be vaxed ... strange hey? 

[Icechipper]

At least two outlets reporting that Pitlick and Zuccarello are the Covid cases. So I assume Rask and Rau or Dewar draws in. Grand Forks' Jon Lizzotte (SCSU) also recalled to meet team in Seattle.

[lynxrattle]

Kulikov not skating, according to Russo. Sucks.

[KostinU37]

WIld fans what would it take to get ryan o'rourke

Very strange after 100% vaccination. BUT the good news according to the research , people who passed Covid infection are developing a better immunity than without it. I am sure Foligno and Rossi have a better immunity because had Covid last year. I do not remember who else was quarantined last season. Parise, Suter? How are you feeling this season?

Absolute garbage for this team is Greenway so far.  Despite of his size he is invisible for this team. 4 shots in 6 games. He should be benched. Kaprizov is 2nd in points( 5 superb assists) after 1st in points Zuccarello (7 points) in 6 games. He made 5 shots less(17) than Dumba(22), but still on the top of players who are shooting the puck. Sadly, zero goals so far. Maybe he is playing injured after Jets game and is on painkillers? I do not know. Just my guess.

[Alexandron]

According to Russo news, lines for tonight:

Kaprizov-EEK-Fiala;

Greenway-Hartman-Foligno;

Duhaime-Sturm-Gaudreau;

Dewar-Rask-Bjugstad.

 

Instead of Kulikov will be Benn in defense.

 

Fiala moved to a 1st line from a 3rd line and Duhaime and Sturm moved to a 3rd line from the 4th line. An interesting changes. Maybe that way we will see more goals? I think Donato and Soucy will be playing hard against us. Hope for Kaprizov 1st goal and Fiala's 1st hat trick tonight this season. :-).

No one knows. Unpredictable management here. 

[ClusterChuck]

With Zucc out, I was hoping that it might make Kaprizov look to shooting more.
But now on a line with Fiala he'll probably be trying to set him up of find him like he was doing with Zucc. 
I still say 97 scores tonight tho.

Or maybe Fiala will be setting Kaprizov first for Kirill's 1st goal and then Kaprizov will be setting Fiala for his 1st hat trick this season? :-).

[Alexandron]

Anyway hope for our win this game, because next game against Colorado will be much more difficult.

Good point. It should be 10 days for quarantine.

[TallyTigerShark]

Kraken name and logo I like. Kraken uniforms, not so much. But that’s just me.

Yeah . My bad.

[lynxrattle]

Can't Greenway shoot at the pads for a rebound...

[lynxrattle]

Both teams interfering. I hope the refs start calling it. It kills the fun.

[TallyTigerShark]

Spurgeon with a good point blank chance….and Dewar has had a couple good looks too.

Seriously shooting directly into the pads is pointless.
