    Default Start Ritchie?

    Hoping the Dobber community can help me with my only week 1 decision to make:

    Do I start Nick Ritchie (MON, OTT, @OTT) over either of Kevin Fiala (@ANA, @LA) or Jonathan Marchessault (SEA, @LA)? Three appealing matchups, but Matthews is out for the first week so not sure who Ritchie plays with this week.

    Thanks!

    I would. Playing a Tkachukless team means he can get a bit more room out there. With AM out I can definitely see him on top 2 lines with some PP1 sprinkled in. Good luck on your choice.
    Call me old one more time.

    I would say coin toss between Ritchie and Fiala. Ritchie will start as the LW besides JT and Marner, and likely PP1, but 1 bad play could totally change things for Ritchie. Guy does take penalties typically, so he could take a bad penalty and end up on the bench.

    Tough to say, but I'll go with this. If you're the underdog in the matchup start Ritchie. If you wanna be safe start Fiala.

    Marner got into a collision with Simmonds at practice and will be re-evaluated tmo. Because of this, I don't suggest starting Ritchie anymore in this situation. So start Fiala.
