EDGE Analysis

When Pearson will speak with officials from the league has yet to be determined, but it seems likely that he will miss some time for catching Brandon Davidson up around the head. The winger put up 36 points in his first full season in the league, and suspension aside, he stands a solid chance of improving upon that stat line this upcoming campaign. If he does indeed get suspended, the 24-year-old will likely be replaced in the lineup by Paul Bissonnette.
