Mark Fistric must be close or Jeff Woywitka will step in and play one game, because Maxime Fortunus has been sent back to the Texas Stars.
It always seems strange that a coach would pick a player to play in the game (Fortunus) and then send him back over a player like Woywitka, but this has to do with who has a one-way contract and how much it would cost to pay a player to be at the NHL level.
In addition, Fabian Brunnstrom has been sent to Texas on a conditioning assignment. Here's hoping he will get a chance to play big minutes with top level players (maybe they were reading the chat).

I think Brunnstrom's effort will need some work even on the AHL level. Last time he was down here, he seemed to be resenting the assignment and his play reflected it.
