Brett Lebda is a healthy scratch. He dressed the last two games as the seventh defenseman but did not get any ice time.
Lebda said he was a little surprised he didn't get any shifts, but added, "That's the game we played. We got two points in both of them, so I can't really say much about it.
I guess he's not as much of a high priority anymore. Play your way to the door please.
I like the idea of not putting Cleary back with Hank and Flip. It would be nice to get a true second line established. Cleary just hasn't produced enough to warrant playing on a scoring line. I think he can work well in more of a checking/defensive role until he gets his scoring touch back.
I guess I should be happy with anything. But Eaves has been so much more useful for us (PK, energy and great understanding with Helm and Draper). Cleary needs to step the **** up, he hasn't done anything lately and for his cap hit we should be expecting at least some points and nice plays.
And Babs kept Bert where he is. Good! Cleary has been a bit of a disappointment as of late.
