Willie on scratching Kenins:



Couldn't agree more. He gets too cute sometimes. Needs to be a straight-line energy player 100% of the time.

One of the few scratchings I agree with.

Kenins may be in, Higgins questionable. I believe he's ill.

Baertschi with 3 assists in 2 games with Utica. Both wins and he was 2nd star in both games.

Nice

McMillan in. Higgins and Kenins out.

Bo Horvat walks the earth.

This team sure knows how to make it's fans sweat.

- Got outplayed but most of the bounces went our way: goal disallowed that shouldn't have been, Marleau missed an empty net tap-in and pucks getting behind Lack but not in the net. Absolutely huge win when it comes to the standings but it's not exactly how we want to play going forward.

- Lack was our best player again. Gave us a chance to win, especially after we went down 2-0.

- Not the best game from the Sedin line but they made it count when it mattered on that 4-on-3.

- The Hansen - Horvat - Dorsett line only played 14 minutes but they were effective. Horvat was one of our best players, easily. Nice to see him bounce back in a big way.

- Vrbata is such a beast, I love this guy. I think he and Bonino might be cooking up some chemistry, so I hope they stay together for a while longer. Not sure if Matthias is going to work on that line but he was a little more involved in the play today.

- Burrows, Vey and McMillan were pretty much out there to kill time whenever they got an even strength shift.

- Edler played a ton but wasn't as solid as we're used to this season. I'll give him a few more games to shake off the rust.

- The Hamhuis - Sbisa pairing played a tough 23 minutes. Sbisa was solid again other than one shift where he made a bad turnover and then took a penalty.

- Weber left the game after taking a big hit in the corner. My guess would be that it's a shoulder injury. If Corrado gets up called and takes Weber's spot beside Edler it's not much of a loss.

I think a lot of Edler not playing well is missing his partner in Tanev,

Definitely. Big part of the reason we look like a mess in our half of the ice.
