Who would have guessed that the line of Brad Richardson, John Zeiler and Kevin Westgarth would be the one line left unchanged by Terry Murray in his latest shuffle? It’s hard to argue, though, at least based on what was seen in Monday’s game against Anaheim. All three players were aggressive and responsible, particularly Westgarth, who was credited with a season-high three shots on goal. So, Murray will stick with that trio tonight, in hopes of a repeat.
MURRAY: “They were good in Anaheim. They gave us some really big shifts, energy, good offensive-zone time. They were in on the puck. They were a little reckless in their forecheck and their recovery of pucks, which is always nice, to keep the other team off-balance. I’m just looking for that kind of consistent performance every game. If they do that, they can be very effective for us.”
