Peter DeBoer, in a very Peter DeBoer way, has scratched Annti Suomela for tonight’s San Jose Sharks game against the Flyers.
This move comes as a bit of a shock, at first, but this is the Peter DeBoer modus operandi. He’ll bench younger European players for a game or two if they haven’t been playing well. He did it with Timo Meier, he did it with Donskoi for a few games as well. We all know about Tim Heed last season.

He’ll scratch really any younger player.
