I want Bollig in the lineup tomorrow - he played well before his illness and against the Kings he was very solid. He matches up well here.
That means scratching Wolf, which I am OK with - he needs to get more fitness, so rotating him in and out is a good idea. Worst thing would be playing him and then having him gassed in the third period again.
Byron I want in for this game for his puck pressure and ability to disrupt. Looking over the other forwards, I see Raymond coming into form, Stajan being dependable as always, and Colborne and Jones playing well. That makes Jooris a victim of the numbers game. He hasn't been horrible, but I am in favour of using the depth the team has to take young guys out of the lineup to observe and refresh. it is going to be a tough run home with all the teams fighting for points, and the younger guys aren't used to a full NHL season being competitive right down the stretch.

So my scratches are Wolf and Jooris, though Jooris was VERY hard to leave out.
