That being said, with Mike Hoffman currently out, Belzile will remain with the club and should most likely end up on the 4th unit... and Cedric Paquette as the 13th forward, who may not be in game shape yet.
Defensively, there's a question mark or two... or three. We know Shea Weber and Joel Edmundson won't be in Game 1, so that leaves Jeff Petry, Ben Chiarot, David Savard, Alexander Romanov, Chris Wideman, Brett Kulak, Sami Niku and Kaiden Guhle.
