Interesting.
Must mean someone is out due to injury or illness.
Albany hosts Toronto tomorrow so he must be needed in NJ.

Interesting. To my knowledge no one is injured. I guess they've already seen enough JJ, Boosh or Kalinin.

They only have two extra forwards...it was thirteen this morning, Lappin's the fourteenth with Speers/Wood gone.
And with Albany playing at home they could recall Santini anytime this week and still not make a roster move.

I'm fine with that
But I can already feel Boucher getting scratched, although he really shouldn't be.

Meh. Boucher isn't really that impressive to be honest. He's got nice hands, but he's not particularly quick or good defensively. Lappin could potentially be a better skating version of Boucher.

I just think we should be keeping anyone who provides offense in the lineup right now. And Boucher did have a pretty impressive resume in a half season of NHL play last season.
He also her more shots per game than all but 3 or 4 forwards last year, which obviously still wasn't too much of an impressive rate.

The funny thing about all of this is that Hynes was quoted by AG saying how he prefers less extra bodies after they reassigned Santini to the A. There may be more to this..

Not really.
With Bennett currently playing LW, Devils are short on RWs. DSP hasn't shown he should be anywhere about the fourth line so far and I'm guessing they aren't liking Josefson or Boucher at RW.
Lappin definitely brings something none of our other forwards bring with DSP being uneventful thus far.

Likely switch Zajac and Henrique. I'd rather Kalinin/Josefson than Boucher. Both of the former give us some flexibility with both having the ability to switch to C, if needed.
It seems like they are playing Henrique on the third line but using him to take occasional shifts away from Zacha when they want to give him a break.
Boucher - Zajac/Henrique - Bennett
Kalinin/Josefson - Fiddler - Lappin
Give DSP a game in the press box.

Maybe they keep scratching Boush cause they think he's still wearing number 12, and keep seeing him pinned back in his own zone all the time.

I'm not gonna lie, I thought he was Ruutu for a second the other night.
