Preseason: Penguins at Red Wings Game Thread

The last rehearsal before the real deal. Here are your starting line combos:

Chris Kunitz - Sidney Crosby - Pascal Dupuis

Jussi Jokinen - Evgeni Malkin - James Neal

Beau Bennett - Brandon Sutter - Chuck Kobasew

Tanner Glass - Dustin Jeffrey - Craig Adams

Matt Niskanen

Rob Scuderi

Brooks Orpik

Kris Letang

Deryk Engelland

Robert Bortuzzo

Marc-Andre Fleury

Jeff Zatkoff

Defense was in constant rotation in practice so any starting pairings I give will ultimately change. Safe to say Bortuzzo and Engelland are the bottom two, and I expect we'll be seeing a different pairing each time two of the top four take the ice.

A few people were annoyed to see Bennett on the third line. I'm pretty ambivalent about it; I can't bring myself to have aggressive opinions on preseason line combos, after all. However, I'm very curious to see if Jokinen will have an encore of his Saturday performance. It will surely be a decider of who starts beside Malkin in the opener.

Go Pens.
