    Earlier in the week, I asked New Jersey Devils forward Curtis Lazar to pick a teammate to participate in the second installment of "Which Teammates Are Most Likely."

    Sitting at his stall with his arms folded, he carefully surveyed the room at his teammates. The Salmon Arm native wanted someone who would provide good answers and eventually sent me to his teammate sitting in the corner furthest away from him.

    After the team's practice on Friday afternoon, I waited near Chris Tierney's stall. The veteran did not disappoint as he answered new questions about his teammates.

    Q: Which Teammate Is Most Likely to Forget to Text Back?

    Tierney: Jack Hughes. Not really from experience, but a lot of guys say sometimes he takes a day or two to respond to their text, so definitely him.

    Q: Which Teammate Is Most Likely to Randomly Burst Out Into Song?

    Tierney: Oh, I could see Dawson Mercer. He seems like he would enjoy the theater, and he has got an artsy side to him, so I'm going to say him.

    Q: Which Teammate Will Most Likely Go On Top Chef and Win?

    Tierney: It is going to be, I think, Colin Miller. I think he cooks a good amount at home, so I'll go with him. I am not really sure who else is dialed in, but it has to be one of the guys with a family.

    THN's Kristy Flannery: I think Nico Daws' dad used to be a chef...

    Tierney: Really? Okay, I wish I knew that information before you asked me that question.

    Q: Which Teammate Is Most Likely to Go Skydiving or Bungee Jump?

    Tierney: I gotta look around the room here. I'm going to go with Luke. He seems like he is pretty wild. If Jack went, Luke would do it, so we would have to get them together.

    Q: Which Teammate Is Most Likely to Experience a Major Life Event and Not Tell the Rest of the Group?

    Tierney: Um, Jesper Bratt is pretty quiet, or Kevin Bahl is really quiet, too. I can see Bahl getting married and not telling anybody.

    Q: Which Teammate Is Most Likely to Pull an Irish Goodbye at a Social Event?

    Tierney: Nathan Bastian. He has done it a few times, so I don't even have to think about that one.

    Q: Which Teammate Will Most Likely Win a Team-Wide Arm Wrestling Competition?

    Tierney: Probably Brendan Smith. I don't want to give him that because he is going to love that answer, but he's been in the gym a lot lately. Him or Dougie Hamilton. I know Dougie has been doing a lot of upper-body rehabbing. When he is back to full strength, he is a horse, so one of those two. Right now, I am going Smith.

    Q: Which Teammate Is Most Likely to Slide Into a Celebrity's Dms?

    Tierney: I'm going to say, Alexander Holtz. He's got a bit of swag on him, so he has the confidence to do it for sure.
