Street is just getting the opportunity with Stajan being hurt, and Colborne not quite being ready for the top 9 yet since he didn't start the season here.
Recall that Colborne actually got the first shot at centering Jones-Glencross and didn't have a great start and looked a little lost.
They didn't want to break up the Backlund Line, and are keeping Baertschi/Monahan line together in order to give them sheltered 5 v 5 minutes.
Fact is he was the best option to center that line 5 on 5.
As for the PP time I don't really understand that. he shouldn't be on the ice during PPs.
Once Stajan is healthy and if Monahan is able to stick, then Street is likely back to the AHL.
