The team is really battling through a rough patch of injuries right now. With Ebbett called up and Bracken Kearns nursing an injury (I saw him at practice on Wednesday, didn't look good), the team is using 2 unnatural centers on their top 2 lines. Tim Stapleton and Viktor Tikhonov are now centering the top 2 lines.
Dan Weiss, PBP man for the team tweeted yesterday:
"With the injuries piling up, Rampage looking to make a player move, and it may not necessarily be a call-up."
Leads me to believe the team is scouring the free agency pool, of which the options are very uninspiring, or looking to make a minor deal of some sort.
Right now the following players have missed some (or all) practice this week:
Brine
MacArthur
Kearns
May
Lunden
Neilson
May and Lunden returned wednesday and most importantly, Matt Watkins returned to full practice.
Lines:
Boedker-Stapleton-MacLean
Picard-Tikhonov-Beudoin
Hollweg-Long-Weston/Neilson
Collins-Mosienko-Watkins
Game preview coming up!
