I pointed out that Alan Ryder stated the case for Datsyuk winning the Selke trophy last season, and there hasn’t been a better defensive forward on the team. With Franzen being out of the lineup it will be interesting to see if Pavel plays on the PK. He played 1:32 short-handed last night so it looks like he will.

I suggested that Jonathan Ericsson could get the callup with Sopel heading off to Chitown so that is my guess: Ericsson gets the callup, plays a little beside Cheli and auditions for one of the points on the second power play unit.
