For all of Byron's faults (namely, lack of finish) he's one of the best skaters we have at driving possession. I say put him in a shutdown role with Backlund and see what happens. He's a valuable player to have, and I would point the finger at someone like Bollig before I point it at Byron.

Pretty amazing that Ortio is getting his 4th straight start. Another challenging game for him coming up.

Really looking forward to having Jooris back. He's the pure energy player this team needs.

I assume Shore is learning the system, I'm not surprised to see him scratched, probably not indicative of him being sent down.. but who know.
