Zach Aston-Reese recalled, Conor Sheary placed on IR.

LW, but I could see him playing RW with Malkin and Hagelin tonight.Has ZAR being playing LW or RW for WBS?
I cant speak to ZARs game tbis year other than training camp where he looked like Tangradi. Hopefully he brings something better. Tbis is a huge game
A little curious they aren't calling up Sprong. I'm all for giving different guys a shot but we should be putting the best lineup daily for wins. Sprong is absolutely a better player than ZAR right now.
I hope ZAR plays well but this is just Sully being a stubborn ass imo.
Sprong is absolutely a better player than ZAR right now? Not according to Donatelli. ZAR has been just as good offensively as Sprong for about half of the season so far and is miles better defensively and physically.
Defensively he might be. Not offensively.
I'd rather have Sprong's offense with both Horny and Sheary out but we'll see. Maybe ZAR can provide some.
Aston-Reese has 7 goals and 20 points in his last 20 games. He had a bad start to the year due to issues with adjusting to professional life and wisdom teeth, but he has been just as good offensively (at least statistically) as Sprong since about the 20 game mark.
ZAR does seem the most like for like replacement from what little I have seen/read about his game.
They seem to want Geno to be taking the shots on that line, giving him Phil or Sprong would run counter to that thinking.
Unfortunately even if he does I cant imagine them sitting for ZAR. Both have their "other" roles that we cant possibly leave them off for too long.Finally.
I hope ZAR scores a couple tonight so we see less of Kuhn and or Reaves.
Hopefully ZAR doesn't have too slow a start. I worry that it will take him a while to get up to speed and that he won't be given that time.
I'm damned excited to see ZAR
I'm damned excited about ZAR, I know I should lower my expectations but I just love seeing how youth can come up to the big squad and fire everyone up
It's difficult to assess ZAR because he only played 6-7 min and the whole team did not play well, but I really didn't see anything from him that screams top 6. In fact, the shot he had on goal on the PP tells the story. Nice pass from Simon in the slot and he shoots it right into the goalie's chest. It was a similar play to what Sid did against WSH to Horny, and yet Horny shoots it top shelf for a goal.
I'll be interested to see if Sprong gets called up at all for Tues if Horny remains out. He would have been more help last night than ZAR. Vegas is also a speedy, high pressure team. Someone like Sprong or Di Pauli would put more pressure on Vegas to execute, and could get some scoring chances, unlike ZAR. Of course I'd rather see ZAR than the other fourth liners...boy Sully can be so pig-headed....
