So if everything goes okay, both should be back on Friday.
I would assume this also means Girardi's ahead of Klein in terms of who's back first.
Interesting to see who comes out. Defensively, it's kind of obvious, but its more interesting with the forwards.
Defense will be interesting when G replaces Kampfer and Klein comes back. Who sits, then?
Forwards, think it's pretty obvious that Glass won't sit. I imagine Fast will be giving Vesey or Buch a "rest" or a few games to "watch from the pressbox".
Has Klein been playing hurt all season and attempting to gut it out ? Might be a reason for his drop off in play ?
And he looked about six steps slower from puck drop of Game 1.it would make sense, he missed a game or two early on with back problems
Fast replacing Vesey would be the most obvious choice. Glass will play every game
Vesey is the new Glass. He can go 3 years without a point and still play

Miller/Kreider would have been in the AHL weeks/months ago, that's for sure.
Which games do you think Lundqvist plays?

One article to rule them all...
Matt Calamia did an article today that covers all 3 remaining injuries. In a nutshell, Hank is practicing and feels 100% physically, but he needs to time to sharpen up. Should be good to go for the West Coast trip. Klein & G are both practicing, but will not play in the next couple of games. Seems the best case scenario for those guys is the West Coast trip, though Calamia doesn't say.
