EDGE Analysis

Galchenyuk practiced faceoffs against Tomas Plekanec and Charles Hudon, losing more draws than he won. Head coach Michel Therrien said he wasn't worried about Galchenyuk's faceoff performance, which is at 39.1 percent in the preseason. Therrien can always have Lars Eller, who's skating at left wing on Galchenyuk's line, fill in for faceoffs if need be.
