STUDS
The Center: Macklin Celebrini
The rest of the world finally got to see what we here in North America have witnessed all along: how great this kid is.
The Wing: Kirill Kaprizov
Love Kap tonight as he’s fully rested and ready to go. Third in the league in goals and seventh in total points.

The Defenseman: Zach Werenski
Z has had a couple of days to recover from his gold medal-winning play on Sunday, and Columbus is in a tough matchup right off the bat, so he’ll be needed. He could be the leader for the Norris as well.
The Value: Avery Hayes
Skating up on L1 in Crosby’s absence.
STACKS
The Full: CAR (Aho-Jarvis-Svechnikov-Ehlers)
Carolina should be close to full strength, and they are getting a Tampa Bay team on the second half of a back-to-back. This quartet seems to always go a bit overlooked, which is great for tournaments as they have some solid upside (and Vasilevskiy was in net last night for the Bolts as well).
The Mini: MON (Suzuki-Caufield)
This duo is one of my favorites on most any slate, and though Suzuki is still recovering a bit, Caufield is fully rested and ready to go.
