The Bolts are approaching the end of this historic regular-season run and that means the puck will soon be dropping for the First Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. What it also means is that we will see who head coach Jon Cooper feels is the best fit for that fourth-line winger role. Will it be No. 73 or No. 24?
Assuming the Bolts will have a healthy lineup by the start of the postseason, at least amongst the forwards, the decision will come down to Adam Erne and Ryan Callahan. One player is in his first full season with the Bolts, playing more than 26 games at the NHL level, while the other is in year 13 in the NHL.
