Groulx has to come in for MacEwan; Hiller only tolerated 5 minutes of Zack attack.
Stecher doesn't deserve to come out, but getting Blankenburg some puck feel with fresh legs wouldn't be a bad thing on a back to back.

I really do hope we use the spare bodies to keep people fresh. This season isn't quite as compressed as last year but it's still 84 games and the Leafs have a stupid amount of back to backs....while playing a rested opponent.

I didn't hate MacEwan on the ice to be honest. I do think we have enough guys who can skate fast and hit though that outside of grudge match games that I would rather see a guy like Groulx who has a bit more offensive upside in the lineup.

I'm expecting a better game out of McKenna tonight after the first game jitters.
