Potential Lineups

New York Islanders

Trotz said he’d ‘rattle’ the lineup for today’s game against the Coyotes. But we have yet to see what that means exactly. Bellows will certainly play, but will he stick to his regular third line duties or will Trotz’s ‘rattling’ put the rookie higher up in the lineup?

We know what Trotz is doing on the blue line. With Andy Greene coming in, the veteran-D will slot next to Pulock on the top pair. Devon Toews will slot back with Scott Mayfield on pair two and Nick Leddy and Johnny Boychuk will take up the third pair. Leaving Noah Dobson as a healthy scratch.

The goalie rotation is likely to continue even if Semyon Varlamov looked good in relief versus Nashville and against the Golden Knights where he stopped 42 of 43 shots.

Arizona Coyotes

Hall-Dvorak-Garland
Crouse-Stepan-Hinostroza
Keller-Schmaltz-Kessel
Soderberg-Richardson-Fischer

Ekman-Larsson-Hjalmarsson
Chychrun-Goligoski
Oesterle-Lyubushkin

Raanta (Hill)

With a 3-1 win over the Washington Capitals, the Arizona Coyotes aren’t likely to make too many changes from that win.

And why should they? Over their last ten games the Coyotes have gone 3-4-3. They need to start stringing together some wins. So if the lineup ain’t broke why try to fix it. Right?
