So our D Corps:
Allen-Girardi
Staal-Klein
Hunwick-McIlrath
Kostka
or:
Staal-Girardi
Hunwick-Klein
Allen-McIlrath
I like the 2nd D corps better

Makes perfect sense to me. You don't want Hank without a game for a full week.
hunwick/girardi and staal/kostka did a great job last night and allen/mcilarth are a pair in hartford. so to me the logical move is to keep the 2 pairs from the other night together and keep allen and mcilarth together on the 3rd pair

Personally, I'd love to be able to see Staal and McIlrath paired up, but won't happen unless more injuries sideline players.

I'm excited to see Mcilrath get some time... We lose to many net front battles hopefully he can help

I can see McIlrath getting involved physically tomorrow in a big way. Tmrw looks to be a big physical battle.

Very excited to see McIlrath get some reps. Hope Ulf is ready to protect the kids. Ozone starts, good match ups. Good to be on home ice tomorrow.
Go and grab it, Mac. Shut up the haters on HF

Let's hope so. I'm hoping they give Allen some PP time. Let Girardi rest during that time. Allen moves the puck well.
McIlrath should be on the PK.
Hoping for them both to be invisible.
Doubtful that we'll see Allen on the PP. We already have Duke and Hayes on the two units. AV doesn't really stack lines up to give rookies too many responsibilities.
McIlrath on the PK is actually conceivable. It really all depends on how Kostka plays. If Kostka has another Isles game then McIlrath's time exponentially increases and his role will expand to likely encompass PK time.
If Kostka has time like the Jets game, McIlrath will be more shielded.

There's also the possibility that Kostka has a game different than the both two we've seen so far.
In terms of hitting the scale of play we may see from him?
He played as poorly as he could have against the Isles, he played as well as he could have against the Jets.
I thought he looked as one of the worst defensemen in the league against NYI, thought he didn't look out of place in the league against WPG.
If he plays even at an average rate of play from what he has shown us thus far, I'd still guess AV gives him more time than McI - veteran/rookie playing time pattern we have seen through 1.15 seasons of AV so far.

Really, really hoping that this is the beginning of Dylan McIlrath proving me and the rest of us doubters wrong. Him stepping up for the next month would be huge for this limping team.
