Wednesday, November 6: WBS 2 @ Lehigh Valley 4
Two matters of housekeeping before we start the recaps: During the week, Sam Miletic’s from last Saturday night at Springfield was changed to Stefan Noesen, giving Noesen 11 on the season entering the week. Also, probably on account of Patric Hornqvist’s extended absence due to injury, Sam Lafferty was recalled to Pittsburgh.
The Lafferty recall, combined with a handful of other injuries to the WBS forwards (Thomas DiPauli, Ben Sexton, Justin Almeida), put WBS short of forwards as they traveled down to Lehigh Valley to start their three-game week, so they dressed 11 forwards and 7 defenders for this showcase game simulcast on the NHL Network.
