Coach Maurice: What does he see the potential of the 2nd line is? Trust in the 4th line. Putting Roslovic back on the wing. Was there a conversation with Roslovic when he was a healthy scratch? How would he assess the play of his 3rd pairing? Has he seen Joe Morrow get more into a rhythm? Does he expect to get into Niku into a game this weekend? Goalie plan for the back to back this weekend?
