Yeah, smart move as Kulak was not getting into the line-up with the way the D has been playing. I've said it before, but Wideman looks to be playing really smart and knowing his limitations. Yes, he will get burned from time to time on a pinch as he does not have the speed to get back, but 90% of the time or more, his pinches are smart. He is playing angles well to make up for his foot speed as well. Jokipakka has also been playing really well, you rarely even notice him, which is a good thing when you are this type of d-man. Engelland gets crapped on a lot here, but he has been, in my opinion, the most consistent defenseman this year.
Get Kulak some ice and he'll be back up when there is an injury or in a week or two.
No need to put Wotherspoon in unless there is a loss or two or an injury.
