Per Steve Zipay, the lines for tonight’s preseason game in Calgary appear to be set:

Chris Kreider-Brad Richards-Rick Nash
Marek Hrivik-Brian Boyle-Jesper Fast
Taylor Pyatt-Oscar Lindberg-Danny Kristo
Brandon Mashinter-Darroll Powe-Arron Asham

Marc Staal-Michael Del Zotto
John Moore-Anton Stralman
Justin Falk-Stu Bickel

Henrik Lundqvist
Cam Talbot

The top two defense pairings and the top line have been standard all preseason. It’s interesting to see Fast split from Lindberg and Kristo, since that trio had a ton of success and chemistry in the Traverse City Tournament. Also, it appears the fourth line and bottom pairing are set specifically for competition purposes. All five appear to be in the picture from a depth perspective.
