This deviates from what the team had been going with during their first seven games, altered by the unfortunate injury of Nino Niederreiter in Friday night's win over Chicago.
The club has not officially recalled anyone from Chicago (AHL) yet either, so all signs point to the only available healthy forward on the roster sliding in. That healthy forward is 2020 first round draft pick (#13 overall) Seth Jarvis, who will make his NHL debut today.
For the interim, we've slotted Jarvis directly into Niederreiter's spot, but that may change.
