Hartikainen - RNH - Eberle
Smyth - Belanger - Hemsky
Petrell - CVV - Paajarvi
But the biggest problem is that we have all skill in our top 6 and no grit to go with it. We need some balance on each line.

Our biggest problem is healthy bodies and centers that can win draws. Grit wasn't going to be the deciding factor yesterday. The lack of NHL centerman is what is hurting and going to continue to hurt.
