Zohorna has been strong. He's faster than I expected he'd be at this level. His line got crushed at 5v5 last night (Phillips' was the best) but I don't think it was his doing.
Both of them should remain in the lineup for the time being. You can't really make sweeping assessments on a sample this small. I don't think you can justify putting Lucic back in for either guy right now.

I agree with ya Scorp. Play these guys and see what you have got. Sutter wasn't afraid to play Tofolli and Pearson in 13-14 when the Kings offense dried up so I don't think he will here either if they prove they can hang at this level. Now maybe he saw something egregious that we weren't looking for, but I think both deserve another game or two.
