Nice to have the ability to rest up a few guys to cure their odds and ends ailments.
Greig, Jensen, Tkachuk, Perron, Matinpalo, Ullmark.
Allows us to see a bit more from guys like Crookshank, Hodgson, Gilbert and where they may fit into a lineup. And get some gametime for Cousins after that long injury recovery ..... still a pest/rat. Also get some playing time for Forsberg, and Hamonic.
Also good to get Zetterlund more ice time and he rewards with another goal.
I am wondering what the final starting line-up will finally be set at ..... and who will be the black aces called up?
Tkachuk/Stutzle/Giroux
Perron/Couzens/Batherson
Greig/Pinto/Amadio
Cousins/Highmore/Zetterlund/Gaudette .... ???
Sanderson/Zub
Chabot/Jensen
Klevin/Matinpalo
Ullmark
Forsberg
- OttawaB
Playoff lineup looks pretty solid.
I would be tempted to keep Zetterlund on the 1st line with Tkachuk and Timmy. Zetterlund is a tank...a human bowling ball and his balls to the wall style of play can only add to more time and space for Tkachuk and Timmy.
Play G as the fourth line centre plus penalty kill and power play situations. He can also be used in defensive and face off situations.
