Injuries and Scratches

19 Nolan Patrick (migraine disorder, Sep. 26) was transferred from injured/non-roster to LTIR Nov.22. He is progressing and has participated in no-contact practices as recently as Feb. 29. GM Chuck Fletcher hoped in the next couple weeks from Feb. 24 that Patrick would get to full contact in practices.
23 Oskar Lindblom (Ewing’s sarcoma [bone cancer], Dec. 13) is on LTIR and will not return to play this season. He began treatments in early January. On Feb. 22, it was reported that his treatments are ongoing and indications are better than expected.

53 Shayne Gostisbehere (healthy) could be scratched. He was injured on Jan. 7 then had arthroscopic left knee surgery on Jan.14. He returned for one game on Feb. 6 then developed what was reported as stiffness in the left knee and pain from scar tissue the following day at practice. He was sent to the AHL on Feb. 20 for two games of conditioning and recalled on Feb. 24. He has since practiced with the team but has yet to play in a game.
55 Sam Morin (torn right ACL during AHL conditioning stint, Nov. 6) is on LTIR and expected out for the rest of the season.

How has Niskanen looked this year? We really miss what he brought prior to his off year last year

He's been more than we could have expected. He had a mini-slump around Christmas time where he had several bad games in a row, but he looked great again after the All-Star break. I'm a little concerned with him wearing down as the season goes and we (hopefully) make a deep playoff run, but we love him so far.

Heres the question. Do you go with Hart first on the back to back or let him start at home where he is dominant and give Elliot DC?

Hart both games of the back to back. Don't be soft. 2 divisional opponents. Start your best.

Helliot on Saturday against the Sabres.

Back to Hart Tuesday against the Bruins. Kid gets almost a week off

That has merit also. But I don't think they will do it.

I pray they get smart and put Grant on the 4th line.

Which will not only maximize his effectiveness but also keep Tater Thomps miles away from the PK
If they call up Farabee it uses up a recall and also makes the Patrick return almost a total non option.
