Yes, obviously Bollig will play every night, we're at 12 healthy forwards.

I would bet that there aren't 12 healthy forwards.
At the end of a season, unless you are close to some personal record, a veteran player doesn't really care to finish off the season. A lot of players have bumps and bruises and nagging little injuries that they are playing through, but the team will get them to sit out and nurse them. What is the point of fighting through them if you are not jockeying for a better playoff position, or even trying to make the post-season?
I actually expect a number of players to be rotated through in an emergency call-up situation. Heck, I would bet a good 5 or more forwards have enough bumps and bruises to warrant a 'maintenance' game or two off.
