Only 19 players are on the ice for any given game, plus a backup goalie, so 20 players in total, even though teams have 23-man rosters. Hanley fills one of the roster spots 21-23.

So why is Honzek up ? He needs to play.
I’d rather have Pelletier as a 4th liner.
We already have a 7th D ahead of Hanley.
