Pearson-Monahan-Gallagher
Harevey-Pinard-Evans-Ylonen

Barron as the rotating (7th)
This means that, to everyone's surprise, it's Josh Anderson who will start on the 1st line, alongside Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. (even though it never really worked out)
It won't be Sean Monahan, Kirby Dach, or Alex Newhook.
As for Rafaël Harvey-Pinard, he'll still need to prove himself and will start on the 4th line, with Jake Evans and Jesse Ylonen.
On defense, Justin Barron is indeed the seventh defenseman.
Details to follow.
