If they were playing like they were in December, they might have a different attitude around Clarke. But because they've been playing like dog water most of this month, that they're trying to find ways to get more wins. Somehow that means benching Clarke who has been your most productive defenseman up until this point to try and protect one of Englund or Burroughs from getting claimed off waivers. It's not like we didn't know Doughry was coming back soon, should we not have had a conditional plan for when that happens?

I'm not going to harp on them sending down Helenius or Lee because the teams success doesn't rely on 2 4th line players when there's several other players making a lot more money struggling to score. We've used an 11/7 setup for almost half the season and now we don't want to use it when now is probably the best time to do so? What are we doing?
Why would we not want to lose Burroughs on waivers? I would love to lose him on waivers. His four minutes a night are less than useless.

Reactions: FSL KINGS and funky
Its been like 10 games now where we barely get to the red line and just chip it in. No chance of any pressure this way, but benching Clarke and playing Lewis will help with the speed leaving our zone for sure
 
Remember if the Kings don't score this period that will be 6 straight.

The equivalent of two whole games in a row without scoring.
