If Pitlick and Richardson aren't able to play on Saturday, which appears likely at this point, they will have a hole to fill at forward for the season opener. Their options are either to put Pitlick on LTIR and recall Duehr, or play 7 d-men.
Of the d-men available, the one who would be best-suited to playing some forward shifts is Kylington. He could still be cycled through the D during the game and when Darryl shortens the bench late in the game.
