They recalled Sogaard today. I think you have to play it safe and let Ullmark sit another game or two and revisit playing him against Utah. I'd skip the Lightning game this Saturday, being it's an afternoon game and goalies tend to often get injured on those games.

It's not like Sogaard and Gaudette actually went anywhere.


This could mean something or it could mean nothing

It should scare all of us that our team is so reliant on one player. Without a serviceable backup in the NHL it's hard to win. Let's hope Monday was a fluke and Forsberg bounces back.

its probably as simple as gaining those days of cap space since its worth 3-4x for the trade deadline
Also for Gaudette, it extends his waiver exemption, he gets 10 games or 30 cumulative days on the roster from the date he cleared.

I'd have liked to see Ostapchuk or Jenik, but I understand they don't like bouncing guys around,

It's cumulative, not consecutive, so sending him down on off days can get you a few extra days, but probably pisses off the player who gets a smaller paycheck...

Agreed. In Gaudette’s case, him getting pissed doesn’t mean much to the NHL team, he also is getting $400k+ in Belleville so any days he gets to play in the NHL is bonus.

Want to see the Big O and/or Double J Jenik as they are seemingly better fit for the 4th line although they need to prove they belong. Look forward to them getting a call up soon.

Wrt Linus Ullmark, if he is injured now is the best time for him to heal. Doesn’t sound like he is out long-term, but we do need him sooner rather than later. Forsarghhh it is against the Devils.
