RNH expected back tonight.
Curious to see if he gets his #1 power play spot back from Podkolzin, whose looked pretty good there.
I assume yes. Hopefully he'll be even more helpful on our lackluster kill.

I could see them changing them out any time the PP slumps. Nuge quietly runs that PP from the bumper position at the top of the circle, but when that goes stale, or another team has a PK that defends it well, you have nuclear 1B to fall back on.
Decent problem to have if coached that way.

Kinda neat we still managed 31.0% PP without Nuge. Last year we finished with 30.6%
McDrai and Bouch are absolutely on fire though to start this year, so maybe Nuge punches it back towards our old record 32.4% pace and beyond :)
Really though, we need a 2nd line to get rolling. Does Babcock have some good tips for Nuge to be an effective 5v5 offensive player without McDavid or Drai? Hope so.
