Scott Morrow (-3). He replaced Jalen Chatfield who got hurt 2 games ago. That's who they need to get back.
Nikishin is their top prospect & has a bright future. But he has just been riding w/the team for the most part during the postseason. He just came from Russia. He did play in game 5 vs the Caps as Chatfield's original replacement. It was more or less a test drive and he showed promise & inexperience. Some good plays, passes & good speed. But also bad turnovers.
We're hoping Jalen is ready Thursday. But I don't think Rod has enough confidence in the rookie D's at this point. Stakes are too high & the opponent is too good. But if Chatty is still unable to go, they just need to rooks to grow up fast.
