Giroux will have to pick up the slack on the PK with Betts out. We have plenty of guys capable of killing penalties - Richards, Carter, Gagne, Hartnell, Giroux, Laperriere, Powe - so we'll just have to rely on those guys a bit more.

I don't think we should break up the first two lines at this point. If JVR is out:

Gagne - Richards - Pyorala
Hartnell - Carter - Briere
Carcillo - Giroux - Powe/Laperriere
Cote - Laperriere/Powe - Asham

If JVR plays:

Gagne - Richards - Pyorala
Hartnell - Carter - Briere
JVR - Giroux - Powe
Carcillo - Laperriere - Asham

These lineups don't look too bad. We can survive Betts' absence. I think Laperriere will really prove his worth over the next month or two.
