Elvis was due to come off of IR. Jet Greaves was an emergency recall so he had to be the sent down when that happened. I think they just made the move to avoid the logjam in Cleveland for a few days and went ahead to bring tarasov up. I think he "could" have stayed down for another week or so when they converted his conditioning assignment.Did they call up Tarasov because they had to due to the conditional stint limitations?
Don’t see any other reason he’s scratched tonight
Conditioning stint is 7 days or 3 games I believe, Tarasov had to come upElvis was due to come off of IR. Jet Greaves was an emergency recall so he had to be the sent down when that happened.

You do have to have 2 goalies on the roster at all times so since Elvis hadn't been activated yet, Tarasov got the recall when they sent Greaves back.
Anyways, solid period.
the last shifts were bad but in the middle of the period the defensemen were turning pucks over and getting that line playing defense instead of offense. Its fine though, theyll take time to build chemistry and with the Johnson line showing up we still have multiple lines to cause some matchup issues and buy time for the Fantilli lineIt was, a good road period. But we've had so many of these we all know it's the last 20 where wheels come off if they do.
So far no issues. Matthews line is a bit strong for the Fantilli line, especially Johnny is struggling, but otherwise we're winning line matchups regularly. But it's so damn early.
