All signs point to the return of Igor Shesterkin in net against the Chicago Blackhawks tonight. Of course that raises some other questions to the availability of Tony DeAngelo who has missed two games with an upper body issue.
The Czar Returns
Shesterkin manned a net alone at the optional skate while Hank and Georgiev split the other. According to Colin Stephenson of Newsday he was the first goalie off which is usually a good indicator of who starts.
Other Lineup Decisions
Julien Gauthier took to the skate and sounded pretty raring to go when he spoke to the media.
