Well, it's about time. Jack Skille, a Box 9 forward on the Sheet, has finally been called up to the big club, as he's toiled in the minors all year. Skille, who was thought to be one of the good young players to watch this season, will finally get a chance to prove himself with the other young kids tonight against the Penguins. That should be a good game tonight.
Going the other way, to the AHL, the Avalanche wanted to give T.J. Hensick a conditioning stint in the minors to see if he can raise his game down there for the stretch run. Hensick is also a Box 9 forward on the Sheet and will likely get called back up in a week or two. Just enough time to find himself and be the better player on his return.
The Habs and Flyers are already in the second period when I'm writing this up and Kyle Chipchura, the Box 25 forward, was scratched from the line-up with the arrival of Glen Metropolit in the line-up... from across the hall. Chipchura may find himself heading down to the minors before long, especially if the Habs can secure another forward in a deal or two this weekend.Click here to see an updated injury page.
