Pre-Game Talk: Week of "We need our wingers back" - VGK & ARI

[Pierce Hawthorne]

He's done for the season, I'm almost certain of it...


They dont want to come right out and say it because it can change the dynamic of upcoming games if teams know our 2nd best player isn't playing for certain... But the fact he isn't skating, and by all means showing no signs of progress, I'd be willing to bet he's done at least for the regular season, maybe if we do make playoffs he comes back at like 50% but with the type of injury I suspect he has(Broken ribs) it wouldn't be wise at all for the sake of one playoff series.

Need help with goalies here. I know it's fantasy but what do we think the likely breakdown of goalie usage will be going into the last week? They've got to use Varly eventually, right? I think we need to give Grubs a break somewhere.

I think Varly gets one of STL/EDM. Grubs gets the rest.

Any update on Rantanen? What’s the injury and when’s he expected back?

I just saw on Twitter that he didn't skate again today
