Hemsky and Barker Draw in vs the Habs

Hemsky will be playing with Horcoff and Smyth tonight.  I don't anticipate it lasting too long as it leaves the team without a traditional shut down line. 

So who draws out?  I'm thinking it will be Lander, as Belanger will slip to the fourth line and center Eager/Petrell, while the third line will consist of Gagner back to his "dominant" position with MPS and Jones.   

So who will the Oilers use against the Gionta tandem?  We'll see.  But my bets are on the Horcoff line to continue to eat up hard minutes if Gagner continues to struggle in every facet of the game. 

I'm expecting a breakout game from Hemsky as he's rested and anxious to return. 

EDIT: MPS moves to the pressbox where Jones will play with Gagner and Belanger.
