DQ said Panarin will play the top line with Zibanejad and Buch tonight.

That means Kakko will play with Strome and Laf. Kravtsov will play with Chytil and Blackwell.

That's your top 9. #NYR

Based on jersey colors, it looks like top 9 will have a couple tweaks:

Laf – Zib – Buch
Panarin – Strome – Kravtsov
Blackwell – Chytil – Kakko

I'll confirm it once we see some line rushes, but that's my best guess based on what I'm seeing. #NYR
