when koz n hordie get back

When kozlov n Hordichuck get back.... where will they play? these r saturdays lines
Hagman-Jokinen-Horton
Huselius-Weiss-Bure
Nilson-Nederost-Bednar
Messier-MacDonald-Samuelsson

soo i'm thinking

Hagman-Jokinen-Kozlov
Huselius-Wiess-Bure
Nilson-Nedrost-Horton
Messier-Samuelsson-Hordichuck
????... so mcdonald n bednar get sent down?

That looks about right except the last line will probably be switched around, with Messier centering Hordichuk on the left and Samuelsson on the right.

I disagree on the 4th line. MacDonald has been playing extremely well as of late. He showed last nite why as he won 14 faceoffs and he adds speed and grit to that line. From Samuelsson's play of late, I would say he should sit and MacDonald should center the line. I think Bednar is playing so he can be shipped out like his agent requested. Showcase him to get better value. When everyone returns, he's probably a goner as a Panther.

I was thinking

Nedorost-Jokinen-Kozlov
Huselius-Weiss-Bure
Hagman-Horton-Nilson
Messier-McDonald-Samuelsson/Hordy

I don;t think that Samuelsson will be here much longer.

Sorry to keep harassing you guys about when Kozlov is coming back, but is there any news on his status?

I guess he didn't accompany the team on the road trip. Next game is Wednesday at home to NYI, hopefully he makes it back in the lineup. Any updates?

Thanks

Kozlov is expected to return against the Isles. Supposedly its a hairline fracture of the jaw and he'll play with a guard to protect it.

yeah we need Kozlov back ASAP. It would make us have two lines that could be really dangerous and a 3rd that might be able to contribute as well. I think Hordi said he would be back very soon too. We really need his toughness badly. MacDonald is hurt now...not sure how serious it is or if he will play Wednesday..so the lines might be something like this

Hagman-Jokinen-Kozlov
Huselius-Weiss-Bure
Nilson-Nederost-Horton
Messier-Bednar/MacDonald-Samuelsson/Novo

Keep in mind that Weiss is also nursing an injury. Kolnik was called up by Dudley just in case Weiss couldn't go Sunday night. Don't be surprised if you see both in the lineup Wednesday. Novoseltsev likely won't see any ice time the near future. With Kozlov's return, I suspect Bednar will be sat.

McDonald will more then likely not be playing as he pulled a groin.

According to the SS transactions today, Kolnik was reassigned.

I'd like to see,

Nedorost-Jokinen-Kozlov
Huselius, Bure and Weiss
Nilson-Horton-Hagman
Messier-Sameulsson-Bednar

Nedorost would be a great linemate for Kozzie and Jokinen
