If it were me putting in the opening night line up here is what I’d do:
| Line 1 | 22 D Sedin | 33 H Sedin | 26 R Shannon |
| Line 2 | 9 T Pyatt | 17 R Kesler | 19 M Naslund C |
| Line 3 | 24 M Cooke | 7 B Morrison* | 16 T Linden A |
| Line 4 | 20 J Cowan | 15 B Ritchie | 27 B Isbister |
| Defence 1 | 8 W Mitchell A | 3 K Bieksa | |
| Defence 2 | 2 M Ohlund | 23 A Edler | |
| Defence 3 | 5 L Krajicek | 4 A Miller | |
| Goal | 1 R Luongo | Back Up | 41 C Sanford |
Injured Reserve: 6 S Salo**, (?7 B Morrison?)
Healthy Scratches: 25 D McGillis, 14 A Burrows, 21 M Raymond
* If Morrison is injured then send Raymond to the Moose and replace Morrison with Rypien. If Rypien is unavailable due to suspension then move Linden to Center and put Raymond in on the right side of either the 3rd or 4th line and adjust as needed.
** When Salo’s wrist is healed, swap out the least performing of Miller and Edler and pair Salo with Ohlund.
