If we win against NJ tonight, I without question rest Nash or another forward.
It's not impossible that Nash slowed down because of a nagging neck injury. May not be something severe, could be just a muscle spasm, but it still bothers him. If he has any pain at all, I don't care if it's a broken nail, I want him skipping the last two games to nurse to it.
I'd like to give Boyle time off too, and if possible MSL as well even though he just came off an injury because he's ancient. The old guys could use as much break as we can give them.
Hank will get the Ottawa game to get back in shape, but the last game should really go to Talbot, again because Hank will have to play non-stop until hopefully mid-June, so let's give him as much time to rest as we can.
I would love to see McIlrath in for Boyle on the RD to see what he's got in a no pressure situation for the rest of the team. Either way, I want rookies and the 4th line to play a ton in the last 3 games, while key guys get a significantly reduced load.
