With Cully (left) potentially leaving mid-game for the birth of his child, and Horts on the shelf for a month, only one of these Cats may hear the final horn.
It’s already been stated repeatedly that Brett McLean will replace Nathan Horton (finger surgery) as the top-line center. All other lines thankfully remain consistent.
Minus Bryan McCabe (eye surgery), the defensive pairings will be thus:
- Bouwmeester / Skrastins
- Boynton (first game back since suspension) / Ballard
- Eminger / Cullimore (backed up by Keaton Ellerby)
The Panthers have won in Pittsburgh – big – once already this year; a Chamber of Horrors the Mellon ain’t (though I’m not too comfortable with the plumbing).
Take it away, kids…
Go Cats.
