Hope Bennett's injury isn't too serious. Until he gets back, move Lundell up to 2C and Luostarinen up to 3C. Reinhart looks better on the wing.

 

[Gentle Man]

Retroactive to forever.

 

[timw33]

Could be retroactive to his injury date (minimum out 7 days from retroactive date) to free up a roster spot while he's out to get a replacement onto the roster. It's promising that he's not on LTIR (minimum out 10 games or 30 calendar days), for now.

Yeah this is a paper move and he’s still eligible to come back any day. Similar to Lundell being placed on IR last week. No reason to believe he’s not still day to day as Brunette said this morning. I’d bet he travels with the team this week

For sure, the only time to get worried is A) when they are unable to say day-to-day or week-to-week about a timeline for recovery and B) when put on LTIR. There's so many little roster transactions on a daily basis that don't really mean too much in the grand scheme of things.

Anyways, hope that he's been able to take advantage of this slow part of the schedule and can get back to his partnership with Huberdeau next week

Should I be concerned about his durability?

I hope not. I prefer to wonder about the durability of his opponents.

 

[iam76]

his style of play.. yes he has a chance to get banged up let's say more than a yandle type

 

[Gentle Man]

Everyone ded

 

[Dread Clawz]

Well, at least we had 5 games with everyone healthy lol

 

[StrangeVision]

It was inevitable.

 

[5 Hole]

Time for Knight to step up and have a great game. No breakaway/goal on the first shot and things will be looking up.

Any injury updates on Bennett or Barkov?

And Bob?

Would much prefer to go with Bob and Spence into B2B games, they are performing so well currently. And Spence cannot and should not play both games. Should Gibson get a shot and we let Bob rest during the full roadtrip?

Why can't Spencer play back-to-backs? He isn't playing at a Vezina level, but he looks like a solid NHL goaltender.

I guess every goalie technically "can" play B2Bs. Not linked to capabilities at all, but to endurance. So they should not.

Cannot remember to have ever seen a goalie play B2Bs - I'm sure there are some cases and some stats nut will find the evidence but it is definitely the exception, not the rule, especially when the first game goes to OT and the goalie got peppered throughout the whole game...

Tomas Vokoun was an expert at it.

Right, thanks for helping me remember. Rather the exception to the rule, don't you think?

 

[Gentle Man]

Analytics show a performance drop off when goalies play back to back.

But I think health preservation is just as if not more important here.
