The Jackets have 4 games left and their next 3 are against the Yotes, Stars, and Bolts...

They have to lose at least 1 or 2 of those right??

Most likely. The Stars are playing for their lives as are the Yotes. Tampa though is looking more and more as a lock for 3rd in the Atlantic so they may start resting a few guys soon. However that could help the Flyers as well since we play em on Thursday.

I think they beat FLA on Tuesday and by Thursday they will be looking to clinch their spot.

So Zac gets a "hearing", does that mean he's gonna get more than 5 games?

I think in person hearings mean 5 or more. Over the phone is max 4. Doesnt say which one this is.

I don't think Downie will see the ice again this year. He's been a healthy scratch 3 games in a row. I guess if there are injuries he might enter into the equation, but it seems like Berube may have washed his hands of Downie.

I think Downie definitely sees the ice again this year. He's being kept out because the Coach feels he is not ready yet. Not because he has washed his hands of him.

Because it's Rinaldo, most likely 5+

I'm guessing 6. The rest of the reg season and 1 playoff game.

Yup, I think he's on Couturier's line tomorrow

Does he draw in for Rino? Is think so. Downie really has to bring it if he does come back in.

I think he'll be back in if they feel he is ready. I think they're giving Downie as much time as is needed to get him as right at possible, before putting him back in. A Rinaldo suspension may quicken that timeline.

Erhoff tweeted pics of his ear...Ugh

Hartnell's shoot in actually split the bottom of his earlobe...nasty looking
