Matt Ross: GAME 26

I'm really impressed with Mackie and think he could do even better on the third line.

Bob not on the trip as he is with his wife awaiting childbirth. Driedger called up and Knight will play. They had to send Samoskevich down to have room for Driedger, that really sucks for the kid, he’s been playing well. Hopefully Bob joins the team in Philly and mackie can get right back in the lineup.

Tough break for Samo, but he probably understands the business aspect of it.
