Location: New Jersey | Pretty sloppy, but some good signs.
Smith might've locked up a spot
Buchnevich is looking fantastic.
Chytil, Hajek, and Howden all looked good
Beleskey will make the team. Idk about starting lineup, but probably |

Location: USA | Thought Chytil started off slow, but got better as the game went on...agree on Hajek, nice potential there...Howden probably needs a bit more time IMO he wasn't the same sort of noticeable as Andersson the other night and Chytil tonight. |

| Howden didn't look good. He was lost. Also 2 and 9 on draws. Gropp looks much bigger and his wrist shot is NHL quality for sure. I would like to see him play with some real talent. Another AHL year won't hurt him. Fontaine didn't have a noticeable game but he sometimes takes a game to get comfortable. I thought Chytil sucked the first 2 periods. Problem they have on defense is pretty simple. At some point Staal and Smith need to go. They are taking up roster spots for talented kids.
Staal-Shattenkirk
Skjei-Pionk
Smith-McQuaid
There are no spots open on the defense. Gorton at some point needs to deal both Staal and Smith. If Smith plays well he probably can move him where as before he was worth nothing. Hope by the deadline we will see
Hajek-Shattenkirk
Lindgren-Pionk
Skjei-McQuaid
Hank sucked beyond belief last night.

Location: USA | Mixed bag last night. Everyone started slow. Got much better as the game went on. The whole first period was a disaster.
Highlights - Buch is going to have a breakout year this year. These preseason games are well below his level but he looks like he's toying with these guys out there. Chytil needs a little seasoning but he could do the same. Keane looked surprisingly good. I don't think he makes the team but very surprised at him, especially since I was down on picking him where they got him. DeAngelo looked better but he still needs to defend better. He's great with the puck but I'm not sure the guy can skate backwards. Beleskey played better than I thought he would. Smith looked borderliine good out there. Looks like a completely different player. Gilmour also a long shot to make the team on defense but would be completely comfortable with him as a callup. Tokarski did his job. I still think he's going to Hartford but he might give Georgiev a run for his money.
Meh - A lot of the younger kids, which is less a criticism more of an observation. Might have been some jitters. Howden Hajek, Gropp. Going to lump Vinni and Fontaine into this group as well. Could have done more, but understandable given the situation
Lowlights - Lundqvist traditionally starts slow and this was no exception. Can't fault him for all 5 but he's not moving and tracking the puck like he does when he's on top of his game.
Will also be interesting to see if/what changes come out of a loss by Quinn and his staff.

Location: New Jersey | You'd like to see Lundqvist be on top of his game, but.... it's preseason.... he's a lock for the starting position... the game means nothing.... obviously it's not good to relax in practice, but there's no real reason for him to be laser focused, so he wasn't |
