Mario on a line centered by Beech (total of 3 NHL games under his belt) with Stephane Richer on the other side (quit the Caps last year after one preseason practice and sat out the whole year). Hmmm, that does not sound like a very productive 1st line in the early season. I doubt they are very in sync right now. Maybe later on. The good thing is they have a very good second line. Someone mentioned that these teams have been giving up 3 goals a game in preseason. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't put much stock in any preseason stats. Maybe I am wrong. I am leaning towards the under in this one.
