The kid is going to be a great NHL defenseman... what more can he learn in the AHL right now?
McD-Girardi
MDZ-Stralman
Staal-Erixon
Of course, we may go with extra defensemen in the event of Feds, Cally, MDZ being unable to go tomorrow, in which case you've got
Hagelin-Richards-Gaborik
Dubinsky-Stepan-Mitchell
Zuccarello-Boyle-Prust
Scott-Rupp-Bickel
McD-Girardi
Staal-Stralman
Erixon-Eminger
... yikes.

Yikes indeed. Thankfully, I don't think there's any chance those would be the lines. THat third line is our #1 shut down line. We need players with defense on that line. They won't put Zuccarello on there. We'll probably see something like
Richards line
Dubi-Steps-Mza
Mitchell-Boyle-Prust
Scott-Rupp-Bickel
If Cally returns, he takes the 2nd line RW, Scott goes out of the lineup and mza goes to the fourth line
