Kinda surprised Holmberg's out. Figured he'd get the top-6 C bump as he has in the past. Curious to see if it'll they'll break up the 3rd line or bump Kampf or Dewar up.

You lose your #1 center and bring Reaves in for 8 mins to replace a player who can play some center in the lineup?
I'm more than surprised. (if it ain't pleasant, don't say it ...)

Ya good point of course. Islanders don't even have Martin in the lineup so not like he's there for him (not that that would have mattered anyway).

Does it surprise you that he’s out tonight? I don’t know what the secret is but he’s looked awful most of the year. No idea why he came back. He’s been sluggish and definitely not the same. Team in a whole plays better without him. Sit him out till the new year.

He's looked off, awful is a huge stretch.

Someone on Reddit has been trying to claim it’s a chronic digestive ailment, so the positive here is it seems to be a structural injury vs a disease.

Based on this rock-solid evidence I now have changed my diagnosis: Auston Matthews has Crohn's disease with the side effect of increasing pressure on his lower spine. Double whammy.

Of course, it could easily be multiple things. The digestive ailment angle is interesting. He often looks kind of "unwell" to me, bags under his eyes and stuff. Maybe he has multiple medical issues. Then again, maybe not.
 
We can be sure now that the team is trailing that we will get game management calls...what's that, it isn't going to happen....oh ok

Good thing we dressed Reaves though. When you have lost your captain you need a useless pad who does nothing to replace him
