Coach Dan Bylsma said that Tanner Glass, Matt Cooke and possibly Brandon Sutter would get the opportunity to play with Malkin and Neal as well. Kennedy may have the best shot at sticking on the line because he has more offensive skill than Glass and Cookie and it would allow Sutter to center the third line for depth purposes. Bylsma cautioned that the spot next to Malkin and Neal will be "open and situational," but "it's going to open to somebody claiming [it] and making it permanent, too."
