- Ward is unsure about who will be the starting goaltender tomorrow.
- The Heat will go without a captain for three weeks. In the meantime, Laing, Piskula, and another unnamed experienced player will be assistant captains.
- The Heat are 2-4 against Peoria at home, getting outscored 19 to 10 in those games. |
It seems likely that they'll rotate the five "veteran" spots between the aforementioned six guys for the foreseeable future. Or until somebody gets injured or plays terribly.
When I spoke with Troy, he was confident that the goaltenders will all be good, but not entirely certain when the organization will settle on a pairing.
