You know Alex, I can understand your thinking on D; two of those three pairings were in place last season. And Ward hasn't played with Pock, so why not? Ward's committed to D and it would allow Pock to play up ice.
Rachunek has been dreadful and Ozolinsh doesn't need to play again on Wednesday. But it seems they're committed to playing Ozo once more, and then perhaps assign him to Hartford while they're on the West Coast sojourn.
Disagree with using Cullen as a first-line center and Hossa as a No. 2 wing with Prucha at center. Pete's not a playmaker and has been turning the puck over in mid-ice. Three and four are OK, although I'd move Hossa down to 4 and Hall up. I think Hall and Dawes need more ice time.
