Weren't the Monsters supposed to be good?

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Injury update (per Tony Brown on Facebook game preview):

Vigneault
Milano
Thurkauf
Dalpe
Bittner
Gerbe

Koules (recently signed to an SPC) was a healthy scratch. This wouldn't be noteworthy except that they played Somerby at forward ahead of him (both Collins and Somerby played forward on Friday night).

Kivlenieks a healthy scratch after being the backup on Friday

Weren't the Monsters supposed to be good?

See the injury report I just posted. The forward lines have been gutted.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

I'll post a depth chart following practice on Tuesday.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Working on depth chart now

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

I'm not sure I have enough clarity in regard to the defensive pairings to post a depth chart (lots of mix and match outside of Carlsson-Clendening today).

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Injury update:

Vigneault and Bittner practiced in non-Red jerseys
Dalpe and Milano practiced in Red (non-contact) jerseys
Thurkauf and Gerbe did not practice
Simpson also did not practice

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Here's my best guess at a depth chart:

Broadhurst-DeSalvo-Letestu
Bittner-Scott-Korostelev
Robinson-Vigneault-Sherwood
Gallant-MacInnis-Abramov
Fortier-(only four centers)-Koules
Rehabbing: Milano, Dalpe
Injured: Thurkauf, Gerbe

Cross-Siebenaler
Carlsson-Clendening
Prapavessis-Somerby
Collins
Injured?: Simpson

Berube
Kivlenieks
Thiessen

 

[EspenK]

Assuming Stenlund is there where would he be? I'm curious because from recent lines you posted he looked like a 4th liner but yet he gets called up.

To be honest, this has me baffled, too.

Cleveland line are all over the place I wouldn't say there was ever a real order like there is in Columbus

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

We'll know more about the current lines following this weekend's games.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

It could be a matter of lines that fit well together rather than a 1-2-3-4 hierarchical structure.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Also, the forward lines are still a mess with multiple key players out injured.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Monsters lost last night 1-0 despite massively outshooting Laval.

Up 3-2 following two periods today. Lines forthcoming.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Clendening suspended for a while (slashed stick down on linesman's skate last night).

Tony Brown explains it towards the end of his Road Report game preview video on the Monsters' facebook page today (whole situation sounds like a mess and is too complicated to get into here).

No official word on length of suspension.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Friday's lines

Broadhurst-Letestu-DeSalvo
Robinson-Dalpe-Sherwood
Vigneault-Scott-Abramov
Gallant-MacInnis-Fortier
Scratches: Korostelev (mentioned as game time decision [him or Gallant], so he probably skated in warmups), Koules
Injuries: Milano, Thurkauf, Bittner, Gerbe

Cross-Collins
Carlsson-Clendening
Prapavessis-Somerby
Scratch: Siebenaler
Injury: Simpson

Berube
Thiessen
Injury: Kivlenieks

A: Cross, Dalpe, Letestu

Only changes for today are Simpson returning from injury and Clendening being suspended. Also, nothing about a game-time decision between Gallant and Korostelev.
