I think Nesterov has been a bit of a revelation so far this season, and I liken him somewhat to what Hamrlik brought for the Flames in general, and more specifically, what he brought as a partner for Phaneuf.
I do think he made a couple of mistakes in the last game, but was mosly solid IMO. Maybe it was those mistakes, maybe it is simply making sure other D get some reps, or maybe it is even a small injury or bump that he could play through but considering it is at this point in the season, might as well give him a break.
However, this is a condensed schedule, and the more a team can move guys in and out of the taxi squad this year, the fresher this team will be.
Excited to see Mackey and what he can bring tonight. Kylington I am sure will get some reps too. Hopefully all 3 play really well every time to the point that it gives Ward fits as to who he should play the next game.
