Interesting.
From the way Freidman reported it last night, I thought their request to bring Harley in was precautionary due to the impending snowstorm. Just to have him accessible in the event they lost another Dman. I feel like someone being sick isn't reason enough.
That being said, I don't think Thomas Harley is going to tip the scales in some unfair fashion. Rather shocked that he is the next man up as it is!!

Ya I just heard Seravalli report it on his show this morning. Apparently they were only going to be able to bring him to Boston in case they lost another dman, but now with Makar missing practice they're technically at 5 dmen.
