Bozak and Marner will play tonight. Soshnikov got a little banged up at the end of Boston game, so Fehr will get in on fourth line.
Don't see why in the hell Lievo doesn't get in over Fehr.
I guess I can suss out Babcock's logic here. He's been using Boyle's line as a defensive unit, so I can see why he might prefer Fehr for that role. But at the same time...why not just bump Hyman down to that line, and insert Leivo on Matthews' left side? Don't really get the reluctance to do that.
what's weird is that leivo was on the kadri line in practice and brown in place of marner on the bozak line.
Hoping for a regulation win tonight and lets hope Tampa takes out Boston in regulation. Likely not getting Bobo from the Jackets tonight either. Big opportunity knocking once again
Yep. This isn't exactly the right time to get sentimental and give our backup a game against his old team. Not when that team is one of the best teams in the league, we're in the thick of a playoff battle, and we've got a game the following night against one of the worst teams in the league.Makes more sense to give him the Devils no?
Not necessarily. One of the back-to-backs we have left has Buffalo on the front-end, and Washington on the back-end.mcElhinney will play 3 more games - the 3 backends of the back to backs left.

Seems like it'd make sense to start McElhinney against Buffalo there.
