NHL Expected Lines and Goalies: October 2nd
Day 2 of the NHL season is here and for now this will continue to be where we post NHL line combinations and probable goalies. The NHL really wanted to help us dip our toes in, with back-to-back 3 game slates to start the 2013-14 campaign. Here’s what we’re looking at today.
Remember, the NHL Lineups Page is currently not updated. This article will serve as a replacement for the first week of the NHL season. After that, this article will be replaced by the NHL Lineups Page
