Another switch around possible is that Taylor gets scratched? There are three goalies and ward probably wants to give all three a couple of games under their belt. So maybe Irving finds himself in the lineup.
I was quite impressed with the way Horak played. The confidence he has gained playing in the NHL was quite obvious.
Aliu looks like a spark always ready to ignite. That can be good or bad. We don't want a guy with a tendency to frequent suspensions on our hand. He needs to learn where the limit is. At times he seemed more like the agitated than the agitator. For instance, at the end of the game, he was the one trying to duck the ref and go in for the fight. The other guy was ready to go but stood his ground. Such instances will further add to his name as a guy who goes over the line.
