The Giordanos could have had the baby in the off season or when the NHL is done but did not. Maybe they have a plan where this works for them? They will come out of this just fine.
As somebody who tried to plan for a 2nd child to come during a certain time of year, it does not always work out the way you want to. And you're certainly not waiting another year to try again.

Also, as some can attest to, having children can be harder for some than others and could take much longer than expected to conceive.

Anyways, great for the team/fans if Gio is playing. At the same time, great if he stays home with his wife and kids for this game. The timing works well, as the next game isn't until Monday.

I'm updating the first post now with the lineup updates.
