I'm set at starting these:

C: Crosby, Backstrom
LW: E. Kane, Skinner
RW: Pominville, Wheeler
D: Weber, Pietrangelo, Subban, Yandle
G: Rinne, Ward
Util: Hall, M. koivu, Franzen

But are any of my bench worth the start over any of starters? Bench is...

Clarkson...my biggest dilemma.
B. Ryan...I'm think against the Blues he's a safe sit?
Kassian...apparently not with Sedins anymore...
Pitkanen or Phaneuf...prob not?

I'm thinking Koivu sit and get Clarkson in? Wild are playing a tough Preds D and have been underperforming as is anyway, and Clarkson has been quite solid...they do play Pit but they tend to give up points...what you guys think?

And goalies...I'm not moving Rinne...but Ward over Price?

Thanks for the help!

I'd bench Franzen and put in Ryan.

I would start Price over Ward.

I'm thinking I'll start Price, but I don't know about Ryan over Franzen...Ryan has been a bit non-existent last few games and Franzen has been steady, plus the Red Wings play the Oilers while the Ducks play the Blues. Thanks for your help!
