Busy week this week with some offensive outbursts in the AHL. Three games played will do that for you but the top line of Marody, Benson and Hebig has been coming on strong. Brad Malone makes a strong push to be the next callup in light of the Jesse and Kailer demotions.
Give yourself some time to check out the Safin highlights. The young man has eight points in his five games back from injury.
Hayden Hawkey experienced his first two real setbacks this season with Providence so it will be exciting to watch for how he bounces back this week. While Rodrigue shined bright in Drummondville, the other goalies got shuffled around between Bako and Wichita again.
Demotion/Promotion debate rages – This week the conversation was fierce as to what we should do with the kids that continuously found themselves sitting.
Puljujarvi Rumors – The rumours started late into the week with Spec mentioning it via tweets
Puljujarvi and Yamamoto sent down – Then yesterday the move finally happened and Edmonton sent both kids down to the A.
Bouchard starting off right – Bouchard took well to his being sent to the OHL this week scoring in his first game back.
Skinner and Mcfarland swap –
Vesey odd man out –
