Camp Notes: New Groups
With the preseason kicking off tomorrow night against the Islanders, Gerard Gallant has reorganized the three groups, with the first two containing all the NHL potential players, and the third containing many of the remainder.
With the new groups comes some new assignments for the players. Most notably, the Kid Line has been broken up, with Kaapo Kakko shifting to the top line, and Alexis Lafreniere switching sides and pairing up with Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trochek. Sammy Blais ends up on a line with probably AHLers Jonny Brodzinski and CJ Smith, while Vitali Kravtsov and Jimmy Vesey.
