It isn’t clear whether this is a permanent switch or just for today, but Galchenyuk will play a pre-season game without Phillip Danault for the first time, and has Shaw on his right.

ça varie, mais ressemble à:Mete-Weber
Gélinas-Davidson
Morrow-Streit
Jerabek— Alexandre Gascon (@GasconAlexandre) September 27, 2017
Mark Streit will get another chance to play, this time on the right of Joe Morrow. This could be a final chance for Streit, Brandon Davidson, Eric Gelinas and Morrow to claim a spot on the team.
Victor Mete will play next to Shea Weber once again.
Jakub Jerabek will not play as he has a meeting to deal with paperwork issues.
The team also announced that Charlie Lindgren is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
