Still waiting

Terry Murray said this morning that he contemplated making a change to his defensive unit, and putting Davis Drewiske back in the lineup, but decided against it. Drewiske has eight points, a minus-3 rating and 14 penalty minutes in 40 games this season, but has not played since a Feb. 11 game against Edmonton and has played only two games since Jan. 4. Here’s what Murray said about his thought process on defense…

MURRAY: “The six D will stay the same tonight. I put quite a bit of thought into it. At the end, though, it was the six that have been playing big games, important games for us. To put a player in, right now, with us not playing our game as well as we have been, it might be a little unfair to do that.

“Actually, I feel bad about not having played (Drewiske). I know he works so hard to get himself back to being ready to play, from his injury, and he hasn’t got a lot of games under his belt due to the coach’s decision. I know he’s hungry and he wants to get in. I just need him to stay ready, because there’s going to be that opportunity, going forward.”
